Media Day Diaries: Inside Chelsea

The Media Day Diaries continue as Ben Haines heads to Cobham Training Centre, the home of Chelsea Football Club.

First up, Ellie Carpenter chats about her debut season at the club, reuniting with Melvine Malard, and her love of playing at Stamford Bridge. Lucy Bronze and her golden mic are back on the pod to discuss extending her contract and the highlight of her summer in Colombia. Plus, Lauren James sits down with Ben to talk about coming out of her shell, sharpening her mindset, and supporting her brother Reece at the World Cup.

Keira Walsh is also back on the pod! She chats to Ben about having close friend Georgia Stanway nearby in London, the influx of star players to the WSL, and being part of the chasing pack this season. After 11 years at Arsenal, new signing Katie McCabe opens up about her reasons for moving to Chelsea and why she thinks this will be the best WSL season yet.

Head coach Sonia Bompastor caps off the episode by reflecting on the lessons learned last season, the value of player versatility, and her love of cycling.
