Most footballers would be grateful to have either Emma Hayes or Sarina Wiegman firmly in their corner—Jess Carter has both.
The Chelsea full-back made her England debut in 2017 but endured an agonising four-year wait until England head coach Wiegman gave her a second shot in a Lionesses shirt.
And last month, Blues boss Hayes said she’d personally ring up Wiegman to argue the rising star should get more playing time for England, insisting “she’s really showing her value to club and country.”
