We have the legendary Chelsea manager, WSL icon and United States women’s national team head coach Emma Hayes on board as a columnist this month. Here is what she had to say in her column this week…

Sophie Ingle defied the odds to return from an ACL injury just in time to make the Wales squad for Euro 2025. The 33-year-old midfielder tore her cruciate ligament during a pre-season friendly against Feyenoord last September. She was subsequently sidelined for the entire 2024-25 season but did enough in training to impress Rhian Wilkinson and persuade the head coach to give her a place on the plane to Switzerland. Speaking to ITV Sport about her return, Ingle said: “I’m just loving being back with the team, being back on the grass, feeling like a footballer again after nine months, it’s just really special. To be back with the girls after such a long time and spend proper, quality time with them, I can’t wait. It’s the Euros and we’ve never been before.”

• Club World Cup updates, 5pm BST / 12pm EDT kick-off

• Reports: Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea | Fluminense 2-1 Al-Hilal

PSG: The European champions are enjoying themselves under Luis Enrique, a world away from their last game against Bayern Munich, whose manager Vincent Kompany could scarcely have been more complimentary about his opposite number in the build-up to today’s game. Words: Sid Lowe in Atlanta.

It’s the final game of the first wave of matches, and the best of them has been saved until last. The champions England begin the defence of their title against France, fourth favourites to lift the trophy and the biggest nation in this tournament never to win a major international prize. This, you suspect, is going to be tasty.

It’s not that easy to predict, mind. France have the overall upper hand in the head-to-head, with five wins from ten meetings to England’s two. But it’s the most recent match-ups that are the most instructive, and these teams met last year in qualifying for these finals, and traded 2-1 away victories within the space of four days. So good luck calling it.
