    WHAT HAPPENED?

    On her West Ham debut, USWNT star Mewis described the windy conditions as "comical" in a 4-3 loss to Tottenham in the Women's Super League last weekend. Ahead of the Hammers' crunch clash with fellow relegation contenders Bristol on Sunday, Australian international commented on Mewis' Instagram post about the match, writing "Hope there's wind in Bristol."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Mewis, who got engaged to Kerr last November, joined West Ham in December after leaving Gotham FC and now will try to keep them in the WSL, with the Hammers currently second from bottom in the division. Kerr, on the other hand, could be out for the season for Chelsea with an ACL injury in what is Emma Hayes' last campaign as Blues manager.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    While Kerr continues her rehab, Mewis, who has more than 50 caps for her country, is likely to be in action in West Ham's upcoming WSL matches against high-flying Arsenal on February 4 and the away trip to Everton two weeks later.
