  Lehmann swapped Aston Villa for Juventus earlier this summer and so far she has made a good start at the Italian side. While the Swiss international is not a starter at present, having coming off the bench against Sassuolo, if she continues to make an impact on the pitch, she could get a more prominent role as Juventus try to win the Serie A title.
