'Missed you' - Alisha Lehmann sends message to former Aston Villa team-mate Ramona Petzelberger after WSL reunion at Tottenham

German midfielder Petzelberger spent two years with the Villans between 2020 and 2022. Lehmann made her own move to the West Midlands during that time, with the Swiss star joining Villa from domestic rivals West Ham in 2021.

While the pair spent only one season together at Villa, they clearly struck up a close bond – as native German speakers. They may not be on the same team anymore, but their paths continue to cross in English football.

Villa’s latest WSL outing saw them take on Spurs, with Lehmann and Co were celebrating at the final whistle as they savoured a 2-1 win. There was time for some brief reunions afterwards, with Lehmann and Petzelberger posing for a picture together.

There will be opportunities for the two friends to lock horns again in the near future, with Lehmann – who has rekindled her relationship with fellow Villa star Douglas Luiz - working on a contract through to 2026 that includes the option for a further 12-month extension.
