Chelsea and England defender Niamh Charles has spoken out about the lack of diversity in the Lionesses squad.
Charles has shared her thoughts on the lack of diversity in the Lionesses squad, admitting there are problems but adding she is hopeful progress is being made to address the issues. England had only two non-white players in their squad for the Women's World Cup, while only three players from mixed ethnic backgrounds are in the current call-up for Nations League fixtures.
"But I think right now the things that have been put in place, you might not see them right now, the progress, but I do believe that there are things in place that – in the future, hopefully – it’ll be more representative of the society we live in. I have hope that, for … the clubs across the country, in terms of access at grassroots level, hopefully showing that first-team level, hopefully it be more representative in the future.
that highlighted how the club does not have single black or ethnic minority player in their squad. The Gunners accepting that the "current women’s first-team squad does not reflect the diversity that exists across the club and the communities we represent" and pledging to drive greater inclusion in their squad.
