In a surprising turn of events, Mayra Ramírez, the Women's Super League's most expensive player, has been cleared to play for Chelsea in their crucial upcoming game against Manchester City. This unexpected development came after Chelsea exploited a loophole in FIFA's rules on player release.
Ramírez, who recently joined Chelsea and scored her first goal for the team against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, was not selected by her national team to play in the Concacaf Women's Gold Cup. This decision by Colombia's technical director and interim head coach raised eyebrows considering Ramírez's previous contributions to the national team, including her role as part of Colombia's quarter-final run in the last Women's World Cup.
