Aston Villa progress despite fielding ineligible player – Women’s Football Weekly podcast

On today’s pod: there’s controversy in the Conti Cup - as if it wasn’t confusing enough! Aston Villa progress to the quarter finals despite fielding an ineligible player.

Watch out WSL - Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema says she may be even better than before after scoring for the first time since her ACL injury.

The Gunners and Man City won, but so did Chelsea to maintain their lead at the top, while West Ham got the better of Bristol City in a crucial battle at the bottom.

Plus get your wellies out for Boreham Wood, Kingsmeadow or King Power Stadium for a women’s football Glastonbury vibe!

We’ll discuss all that, plus we’ll take your questions and round up all the midweek Champions League action as the group stage reaches its climax.

The team will be back next Tuesday for a recap of all the WSL action including Manchester United v Brighton and Chelsea v Everton – plus news of any last-minute transfers.
