Emma Hayes gives Millie Bright injury update after withdrawal from Lionesses squad

Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has given an update on the fitness of England centre-back Millie Bright.

Hayes was speaking after Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3-0 on Sunday evening in the Women's Super League, with goals from Jelena Cankovic, Guro Reiten and Sam Kerr. But Millie Bright was once again absent from the Blues defence due to injury.

Bright first limped off with a knee problem in the first leg of Chelsea's Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Lyon and has missed three games since. Over the weekend she withdrew from the Lionesses April squad for upcoming games against Brazil and Australia, after being initially included in Sarina Wiegman's squad.
