Overview

  • Chelsea confirmed Bompastor’s new deal to 2030, with directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley citing confidence in her leadership and vision.
  • The champions sit 12 points behind Manchester City with eight league matches left after a 5-1 loss at City and a prior defeat to Arsenal.
  • Bompastor said she feels fully supported, clarified that her post‑match “depth” remarks were misinterpreted, and pointed to long absences for key attackers as a major factor.
  • Chelsea continue to pursue trophies in the FA Cup, the League Cup final and the Champions League quarter-finals despite their league struggles.
  • Recent reporting highlights dressing-room strain and contract uncertainty for several players, while Bompastor called Sunday’s trip to Tottenham crucial to their response.
