Interestingly, Potter says she had a conversation with Sonia Bompastor in the summer and made it clear she wanted to be playing. She may be shy but is clearly confident enough in her own ability - and she has every right to be.

The new kids on the block for the Lionesses could not be more different. Lexi Potter is shy: "Keira Walsh calls me a baller and I'm like 'please stop!'" Erica Parkinson is out-going, like her namesake Cantona. Read on the exciting young talents: telegraph.co.uk/womens-footb…

"I think we have to change some things. We are working closely with Chelsea to think differently about creating the right solutions because the player suffers" Emma Hayes on the loss of Naomi Girma from the squad for matches against Spain due to her recurring calf injury. #USAESP

When Lola Ogunbote realized life was too short not to pursue her dreams, she quit law and never looked back, launching a football career that would take her around the world and see her work for her childhood club. A Nigerian-born Brit, Lola spent more than eight years building a successful career as a UK-qualified lawyer before making the bold decision to follow her passion for football. In the same week she left the legal profession, she discovered a coaching opportunity with Arsenal Football Club, applied, and secured a place on the programme. What began as a leap of faith quickly evolved into an international coaching journey. After completing her training with Arsenal, Lola represented the club across Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, delivering football development programmes and helping to nurture talent globally. Her contributions earned her a coaching award presented by Arsenal players themselves, a particularly meaningful achievement for a lifelong Arsenal supporter. Since entering the football industry in 2016, Lola has gone on to lead professional men's and women's teams across multiple continents, establishing herself as a respected football leader. Proudly embracing the richness of her Nigerian heritage, she is also a passionate advocate for gender equity and increased female participation in football, using her platform to inspire the next generation of women in sport.

🗣️Sonia on Naomi Girma's expected Chelsea debut bearing in mind she was off season: “It’s difficult to give a date, she also had a small calf injury, so she won't be available next week. We are going to assess her and give her all the support to be back as soon as she can.”
