Alisha Lehmann made her long-awaited return to English football after coming on as a substitute for Leicester City in their Women’s Super League defeat to West Ham. The forward, often dubbed the ‘world’s sexiest footballer’, only signed for the Foxes recently but was put straight into their squad for the match on Sunday afternoon after her signing. Lehmann, 27, had been playing her football recently for Italian side Como but is back in England having had previous spells at West Ham, Everton (on loan) and Aston Villa. The Swiss star was brought on after 65 minutes with the Foxes 2-0 down to Rita Guarino’s Hammers and, despite Leicester pulling one back, Lehmann fell to defeat on her first game back in the WSL. Many of the Foxes support, however, stayed back at the end of the tie to pose for selfies with the 27-year-old. The defeat leaves Leicester with just nine points from 13 games, while it lifted West Ham from the foot of the WSL table. Lehmann will be desperate to help her new side get points on the board quickly but they face in-form Arsenal next Saturday.
