Leicester City WFC news

Two England prospects have made the Women's NXGN 2026 list, but that is just scratching the surface when it comes to the talent coming through in one of the best and most successful nations in women's football. Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses have won back-to-back European Championship trophies and reached the final of the most recent World Cup, and it looks like they are set up for future success with the quality coming through the pipeline.

Switzerland forward Alisha Lehmann finally opened her account for Leicester City, but her first-half strike was not enough to prevent a devastating 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa. Despite taking an early lead, the Foxes collapsed in the second half, suffering their sixth consecutive Women's Super League loss and deepening their fears of a looming relegation battle.

Swiss international forward Alisha Lehmann has hit back at her critics, firmly denying claims that she prioritises social media over her football career. After cutting short a stint in Italy to join Leicester City's relegation battle, the 26-year-old insists her focus remains entirely on the pitch, relying on her strong work ethic to prove the persistent doubters wrong.

Alisha Lehmann is only a matter of weeks into her spell at Leicester City, but the WSL outfit have been warned that on-field struggles could lead to the “commercial titan” beating a hasty retreat. Switzerland international Lehmann returned to English football in January following stints in Italy with Juventus and Como Women. Emile Heskey has told GOAL what she offers to the Foxes.

Ex-Love Island contestant Montel McKenzie, who remains an ambitious semi-professional footballer, has revealed when his romance with WSL star and former Baller League coach Alisha Lehmann blossomed. The happy couple went Instagram official with their relationship in January having both spent time working alongside Ruben Dias’ television presenter partner, Maya Jama.

The Women's Asian Cup began on March 1, kickstarting a month that was set to see two of the major tournaments in the women's game take place, with the Africa Cup of Nations to follow on March 17. Incredibly, the latter was postponed just 12 days before it was due to start, but the impact the Asian Cup will have on the continuing club competitions will still be fascinating, as teams across the women's game say goodbye to some of their best players for a few weeks.
