Hannah Blundell will watch Man Utd attempt to defend their FA Cup title against Chelsea from the stands having given birth in March but she is already excited to return despite saying small number of mum’s in WSL remains a taboo subject
Hannah Blundell is not unusual among footballers in being more nervous on the sidelines than the pitch.
The Manchester United full-back, who gave birth to daughter Romy in March, says she will feel “100 per cent anxious” when watching today’s FA Cup final against Chelsea from the stands.
And while Blundell jokes that “it will be nice to have a break” from parenting because Wembley forbids babies from attending, she would much prefer to affect the action.
“It will be strange,” she says. “Watching a game from the stands is so hard, it’s frustrating not being able to help. But I’m really excited to be there. I’m confident in them. On the pitch you can control and influence the game but I won’t be able to do anything. I’ll feel everything a fan does.”
