Chelsea players wore stained shorts as they warmed up for the club's Women's Super League clash with Manchester City on Friday night. It was part of the club's partnership with period care brand Here We Flo.

The club said that players wore the shorts to "demonstrate the reality of periods and promote pride and confidence while playing sports, whether you are on your period or not".
