Kosovare Asllani signs one-year extension with London City Lionesses
Summary

Kosovare Asllani, captain of London City Lionesses, is set to sign a one-year contract extension as she recovers from a serious multi-ligament injury. The 36-year-old Sweden international, who joined the club from AC Milan in June 2024, is unlikely to play again this season but will continue her rehabilitation with the team. Asllani has been instrumental in the club's success, leading them to a WSL 2 title and contributing to their sixth-place finish in the 2025-26 season. This contract extension is viewed as a commitment to supporting her recovery and enhancing the squad's depth ahead of the Women’s World Cup in Brazil next year.
