Chelsea’s Hannah Hampton Ruled Out for Weeks With Quad Injury, Year-End Return Uncertain

Livia Peng replaces her in goal for Chelsea, with England likely to consider Khiara Keating for the upcoming friendlies.

Overview

  • Head coach Sonia Bompastor said the 24-year-old will be sidelined for “a few weeks” and is not sure to return before the end of the year.
  • Hampton sustained the injury in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal and missed the 6-0 Champions League win at St. Pölten, where Peng started and kept a clean sheet.
  • She will not travel for Sunday’s match at Liverpool, with Barcelona visiting Chelsea in Europe next week as the club sits one point behind WSL leaders Manchester City.
  • Bompastor indicated Hampton could miss England’s home friendlies against China on November 29 and Ghana on December 2, with Khiara Keating a likely option for selection.
  • The update follows Bompastor’s public backing of Hampton after criticism in Mary Earps’ autobiography.
