Super Falcons attacking wingback Michelle Alozie has opened up about the incident during the game against England.
The Chelsea forward scored five goals and provided two assists in 18 FAWSL games for Chelsea last season, and will be hoping for a better return in the new season, with added responsibility and game time from the departure of Danish forward Pernille Harder.
Being only 21 years old, James could be set to dominate the Young Player of the Year category like Hemp, given that she has three more years of eligibility for the award.
