WSL SUMMARY: Managers went ahead in concussion and Tottenham’s Alex Morgan finally scored



[ad_1]

WSL managers have been ahead of their Premier League counterparts in addressing issues vital to the game. On substitutes for concussions, Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro says “there can be no more excuses.”

The FA is ready to test the idea at the FA Women’s Cup, if they get the go-ahead from the FA’s International Board of Directors on December 16. Willie Kirk, Hope Powell, and Tanya Oxtoby echoed Montemurro’s thoughts.

Manchester United manager Casey Stoney put the policy into practice over the weekend.

In the 2-0 win over Aston Villa that kept him at the top, he replaced midfielder Jackie Groenen when he fell with a head injury, despite the Dutch player’s opposition.

Stoney is willing to participate in research examining the effects of heading on female soccer players. You have to think about it. I also have three children, ” he said.

Tottenham Hotspur’s absence of basic catering facilities was highlighted in Sportsmail’s investigation of WSL facilities a year ago.

So I only have the right to acknowledge that the team now has access to the Hotspur Way men’s training camp full time, not just one day a week.

With Rehanne Skinner installed as manager, the Spurs are aiming to challenge the established big six in no time. The WSL needs it.

Alex Morgan ended his goal drought 86 days after signing for Spurs.

He missed the key penalty in the Continental Cup penalty shootout against Arsenal last month, but made no mistake against Brighton.

A first goal and victory for the American. And a good start for new boss Rehanne Skinner.

Lauren James made her 50th appearance for Manchester United on the same day her brother Reece reached the milestone for Chelsea.

Phil Neville gave him a first England call-up in November, a month after Reece’s debut with Gareth Southgate’s team. A satisfying symmetry for the brothers who seem destined for the top.
