Jonas Eidevall has accused Women’s Professional Leagues Ltd (WPLL), the body that runs the Women’s Super League, of “amateurish behaviour” and called for more consideration for teams competing in Europe, after it postponed Sunday’s game between Chelsea and Manchester United because of Champions League commitments.
The schedule for European fixtures has been known for a year and the possibility of three English teams reaching the group stage was a likely scenario, yet all three of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City had been scheduled to play on Sunday ahead of a potential Tuesday European fixture. With Uefa unwilling to budge on their long-term scheduling, the WPLL, took the decision to postpone Manchester United’s sold-out visit to Kingsmeadow to take on Chelsea.
