Reading midfielder Jessica Fishlock said on Monday it was a shameful weekend for the Women’s Super League following the postponement of several games over COVID-19 cases after some players travelled abroad amid the pandemic. Five games in the WSL were cancelled due to COVID-19 infections and injuries, with Chelsea’s 5-0 win over Reading on Sunday being the sole result of the weekend. “So much has gone on within the women’s game in the last week that I personally think it has done a bit of damage,” Fishlock told the BBC. “It’s a sad week for us involved in women’s football and I’m not putting that solely on the players. “… the buck stops and starts with me and I’m responsible for that,” Casey said last week.
