Chelsea defender Alsu Abdullina departs

We can today confirm that defender Alsu Abdullina has left the club upon the expiration of her contract.

The 23-year-old joined the Blues ahead of the second half of the 2021/22 campaign and went on to make 11 appearances before the end of the season.

During 2022/23, Abdullina embarked on her first full season with Chelsea where she made nine appearances in all competitions, registering three assists in that time.

A loan move for the 2023/24 campaign saw the left-back play her football with Paris FC in Division 1 Feminine, the highest level of women’s football in France.

Abdullina helped the Parisians to a third-place finish in the league, making 14 appearances for them during her time in the French capital.

Everyone at Chelsea wants to thank Alsu for her contributions during her time in blue, and we wish her every success for the future.
