Naomi Girma Injured During Chelsea Debut After Record-Breaking Transfer

The U.S. defender, the first million-dollar player in women’s soccer, was substituted with an unspecified injury during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Brighton.

Naomi Girma, who joined Chelsea in January for a world-record transfer fee of £900,000 ($1.1 million), was injured and replaced in the 57th minute of her debut match against Brighton.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor stated that the injury does not appear serious but requires further assessment through a scan on Monday.
The game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Chelsea maintaining their unbeaten season but seeing their lead at the top of the Women's Super League reduced to five points over Manchester United.
Girma, 24, had recently recovered from a calf injury that delayed her debut and caused her to miss the SheBelieves Cup in February.
Chelsea's goals came from Sandy Baltimore and Lauren James, while Brighton scored through Marisa Olislagers and Vicky Losada.
