High of the Week
Ellie Roebuck was back on the field after 303 days making her Barcelona debut. Roebuck had suffered a stroke in March that kept her sidelined but it’s wonderful to see her back on the field. The goalkeeper officially signed with Barcelona in June after spending six years with Manchester City.

Low of the Week
Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor announced that we will have to wait a bit longer to see Sam Kerr return to the field. The club isn’t expecting to have the star forward return before February or March. Kerr suffered an ACL tear in January while at a training camp.
Sad news for football fans. During a press conference, Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor said Sam Kerr won’t be ready to play until February or March 😢
The wait for her return continues, but oh boy, will it be fun when she’s back on the pitch scoring goals 😏 pic.twitter.com/qXmtPUmITQ
