    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Switzerland international was back in action on Saturday when lining up against Lazio. She was handed a starting berth in that contest, with Juve coach Massimiliano Canzi asking the 25-year-old – who often operates on the flanks – to lead the line.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Lehmann, who has been joined in Turin by her Brazilian boyfriend Douglas Luiz, failed to add to her goal account when being deployed in a keenly-fought contest that eventually saw Juve pick up all three points in a 2-1 win.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Lehmann was replaced in the second half, with Sofia Cantore – who went on to net the match winner – introduced in her place. DAZN, who were covering the game for television audiences, mistakenly referred to the Swiss as ‘Aliscia’ in their substitution graphic.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR LEHMANN?

    The former Aston Villa star has seen the funny side of that error, while kindly offering a reminder of how her name should be spelt. Juve, who sit at the top of the Serie A table with nine points picked up from three games, will be back in action on Thursday when facing Mary Earps and Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier.
