Very interesting piece on Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Sophie Howard’s leap into the unknown 🇮🇹 and Mercury13 ⚽️
🗣️ “The future of women’s football is to be independently owned”

After five years at Leicester City, Sophie Howard made the switch to Mercury 13-owned Como Women this summer 🔁

Fresh from the #Chelsea presser, Sonia Bompastor reveals that #HannahHampton will be out for weeks with her quad injury. Could be after Christmas that she's back. So highly unlikely to play in the upcoming #Lionesses fixtures. Good news for #AggieBeeverJones tho, now back in training and the squad
