  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Swiss international swapped Aston Villa for Juventus last summer and so far she is loving life in Italy. The 26-year-old, who said she is playing for a "really cool team", is currently out with a thigh injury but the forward says she is nearing a return.

  WHAT ALISHA LEHMANN SAID

  She told 20min: "I've settled in very, very well. We have a really cool team, we're ambitious and have big goals. That's why we train a lot. We all get on really well and the conditions at Juventus are great. I'm very, very happy."

  Lehmann added: "I'm already feeling much better. I'm in rehab now and have been training a lot. I have good people around me at Juventus and I'll be fit again soon."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Lehmann has played 15 times for Juventus, scoring two goals along the way. However, she is not a regular for the Italian giants, and with boyfriend Douglas Luiz struggling for game time at the Old Lady, the famous couple could be on the move this summer – unless they are prepared to do a long-distance relationship.
