Something else I think that needs to be looked at is the way Arsenal handle their loan players.

Both Maddy Earl and Naomi Williams are hardly touching the pitch for Ipswich and Bristol City, and Laila Harbert’s time at Portland raises a few questions.

#NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman said the league will "fight" to keep Trinity Rodman.

Rodman said she hasn't made any decision yet, and that she's happy to hear that but, "I don't want to put that pressure on myself." She's focused on Saturday's NWSL Championship.

As climate change shifts the conditions in which we live, it would be naïve to think sport won’t be affected. It already is — and for women’s sport in particular, the challenges are two‑fold.
