Jasmine Matthews leads her teammates off the pitch after WSL clash between Liverpool and Chelsea was abandoned
The Women’s Super League match between Chelsea and Liverpool was abandoned after just six minutes due to a frozen pitch.
The match at Kingsmeadow had passed a pitch inspection two hours before kick-off at 12.30pm.
But after Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert fell badly in the fifth minute, the referee ruled the pitch unplayable and stopped the game.
The game started at Kingsmeadow in cold, foggy conditions and ground staff worked hard to clear the pitch of ice before kick-off, but with just six minutes to go the referee called on the captains and managers and decided to drop the attachment.
The decision was made for player safety reasons, as freezing conditions caused several players to slip during opening changes and appear to be in pain after falling onto the hard court. “You could see from the first few minutes that it was like an ice rink on the sides,” said manager Emma Hayes.
“It’s not up to the coaches to decide that, it’s up to the officials to decide if a game goes. It’s minus one degree, that’s the right decision, it probably shouldn’t have been right from the start. departure.
“Before it was fine, but as soon as we took the cover off it started to freeze again and the temperature hasn’t improved since we first checked with the authorities at 9.30am.”
The match will now be rearranged by the Football Association and will be played at a later date, to be confirmed.
Tickets purchased for today’s match remain valid for the changed date. Fans who cannot attend on the changed date can request a refund up to 48 hours before kick-off. To request a refund, supporters should email tickets@chelseafc.com with the order number and supporter details.

Liverpool set to sign star for £202,000-a-week and want deal done quickly – report
Liverpool are associated with quality midfielders and once again Marcelo Brozovic’s name is in the spotlight.
According to Calcio Mercato Web, Liverpool are preparing a player plus money to terminate the Croatia international’s services during the January transfer window.
Italian media have mentioned that the Reds would like to go ahead with a proposal involving Naby Keita and Cash to sign the 30-year-old Croatia international.
The Guinea international’s contract expires this summer, leaving the Merseysiders paying big bucks to land the midfielder from Inter Milan, who is valued at around €30-35million.
Brozovic’s current contract at the San Siro expires in the summer of 2026 and he earns around £202,000 gross per week. CMW says Liverpool want a quick deal this month to sign the former Dinamo Zagreb star.
The experienced midfielder is mostly a killjoy, who can go forward and also score/create goals. With the Nerazzurri he won all the major national titles and has been a brilliant player for the national team over the years.
The 83-year-old was a key member of the Croatian squad that reached the 2018 World Cup final and won the bronze medal in Qatar last year.
He has played more than 300 games for Inter so far, scoring 30 goals and providing 37 assists. Unfortunately, he has spent a lot of time on the treatment table this season.
At Anfield, Naby Keita has been an injury-prone player since joining us in 2018. Brozovic has a decent injury record but this season hasn’t gone well.
Brozovic has started only 7 Serie A games so far and has been out due to hamstring and calf injuries. If Liverpool should move in in your opinion to secure his signing before the deadline.
