      But she is currently on international duty for Switzerland and helped them to beat World Cup semi-finalists Sweden 1-0 on Friday.
      In snowy conditions in Luzern, Lehmann was involved in a nasty collision during the Nations League clash that forced her out of the action.
      She was left with a bloodied nose and had to be replaced on the 70 minute mark.
      Fortunately she does not appear to be in too much distress as after the game she took to Instagram to post a message to her huge 16 million following.

      Lehmann shared several snaps from the game, which included one of her running with the ball, another of her celebrating Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic’s goal and then a clip of her going to get treatment for her injury.
      She captioned the photos with: “Big fight yesterday, so happy with the 3 points and so proud of the team.”
      A flood of supportive comments soon flooded in, with Lehmann’s ex-Aston Villa team-mate Ruesha Littlejohnm among them.
      She wrote: “So brave, so strong, so sexy.”

      Switzerland’s win secured their first points in the Nations League after a poor start to the group that also includes Italy and Spain.
      It comes after Lehmann was dubbed a “class act” after she jumped off the Aston Villa bus to hug a big fan of hers in a wheelchair recently.
      The star also found herself being trolled after she was criticised for wearing make-up during her country’s 7-1 defeat to Spain during the last international break.
      TV presenter Vicki Blomme was one of those who jumped to her defence, comparing Lehmann wearing make-up on the pitch to Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham caring about their hair.
      She said on the Soccer Sisters podcast: “Yes, she plays with her sexuality, but they have done it many times.
      “Look at Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. I think make-up and personal grooming are seen differently than if a boy does his hair.
      “A lot of people think it’s vanity, but it’s also feeling. The feeling of feeling confident and strong, there’s something to that. I think it’s good that we’re different and that we look however we want.
      “You take some of the attention away from football, but that’s how it happened also with Beckham. There is nothing wrong with playing football with make-up, we have to stop blaming them.”

      The Sun’s Footie For All campaign praised by Culture Secretary as £30m of NEW cash for grassroots football announced

      by

      THE Culture Secretary praised The Sun’s Footie For All campaign as she joined England’s Lionesses on the pitch to announce a multi-million cash boost for grassroots football. Lucy Frazer unveiled a £30 million venture to construct around 30 state-of-the-art 3G pitches across the country. 
      Political Correspondent Martina Bet talks to Culture Secretary Lucy FrazerCredit: Roland Leon
      We joined the Cabinet Minister at St George’s Park where she made the revelation to the Lionesses and told us how important it is to build more facilities, especially for women and girls. 
      Speaking to our political correspondent, Ms Frazer said she realised she had to do something to support the Lionesses’ legacy after seeing them “in action” at the World Cup.
      “I came back from Australia, thinking we have got to build on this, we can’t stop, we have got to go further, we have got to continue to support them”, she said.
      At every one of these new sites, there will be reserved peak-time slots, women and girls only evenings and priority booking for women and girls’ team.

      There will also be dedicated female changing rooms, shower facilities and accessible toilets.
      Ms Frazer said: “One of the main issues is that girls are put off by the fact that there’s nowhere to change and there’s nowhere to shower.”
      The Cabinet Minister also described the Sun’s Footie For All campaign and Fund as “complementary” to the Government’s cash injection.
      Our campaign is aimed at supporting grassroots youth football clubs impacted by the cost-of-living crisis and the fund, in collaboration with Tesco’s Stronger Starts programme, provides £150,000 in grants to assist clubs facing financial challenges.
      Ms Frazer said: “In life, generally, you can’t do things alone, the Government can’t do this alone. And we are combining with the sporting bodies to achieve our aims, with the Department of Education, the Department for health… and so The Sun’s campaign is is a complementary to that.
      “And it’s really important that we have football access for everyone and I’m a proud supporter of the Sun’s campaign.”
      In terms of where the new pitches will be located, Ms Frazer said it will be up to the Football Foundation to decide, adding: “They are already looking at potential sites and looking at a whole range of things and accessibility is absolutely one of them.
      Most read in The Sun
      “They have already started that work, because we want to make sure that these are delivered by 2024-25. And so that work has started already.”
      The Government is providing £25 million funding, with The Football Association contributing £5 million.
      The announcement comes ahead of the team’s crucial UEFA Women’s Nations League match against the Netherlands at Wembley Stadium on Friday.
      England’s FIFA World Cup 2023 Captain Millie Bright said: “We are really pleased to see the commitment towards this funding and the promise that this will be prioritised for the growth of women’s and girls’ football so whatever the motivation to play, there is a safe and accessible area for females to go to.”
