Chelsea have shown early signs of recovering the resilience and momentum needed to challenge for the Women’s Super League title after losing their crown last season.
Doubt surrounded the club following that setback, with questions raised over whether Chelsea could regain the form that had previously made them title contenders. However, the opening stages of the current campaign have offered more positive indications.
The early evidence suggests Chelsea have rediscovered some of the spark that was missing when they surrendered the league crown. That renewed energy has placed them back among the teams capable of mounting another challenge, although it is still too early to determine whether they can go on to reclaim the title.
Chelsea’s progress this season will therefore be judged by whether their improved resilience can be sustained over the course of the campaign. For now, their start has provided grounds for optimism and reopened the question of whether they should be considered serious contenders once again.
