Lisa Evans hopes English football will soon have an equivalent of Josh Cavallo but fears it “could still be a long way off yet”. While a number of players at clubs in English women’s football are publicly out, there are none across the country’s top four divisions in the men’s game. “I think women’s football has always been a safe place for people to be themselves and that’s the most important thing for me, to be able to be myself. “I just think there’s way more role models, people in women’s football who are out there, and that are willing to be vocal about it. But there’s still a long, long way to go yet and we just need to see what happens in the future.”Evans joined West Ham on loan for the 2021-22 season in August.
