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.
