Emma Hayes gives Chelsea injury update that will come as major boost to England fans

Emma Hayes believes Chelsea defender Millie Bright will be fit for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup finals.

However, the Blues manager has revealed that Bright won't be back for a big WSL clash with Everton this Sunday, that could have a major impact on their ambitions to win the double. Bright has been absent since Chelsea's Champions League quarter-final first leg win over Lyon back in March.

Earlier this week it was confirmed her Chelsea teammate Fran Kirby would require surgery on a knee problem, ruling her out of the finals. She joined a lengthy England injury list which includes captain Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and Lucy Bronze.
