In a surprise move, Sarah Mayling, Villa's leading WSL appearance maker, having played 83 times in the competition since re-joining the club in July 2021, has been sent out on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

Sarah joins Leicester City until the end of the campaign despite having already made eight WSL appearances so far this season for Natalia Arroyo's 🇪🇸 side, and although seven of those were as a substitute, it's still a real surprise to see her leave on loan, still aged just 28, especially given she's joining the team currently occupying the place below Villa in the WSL table.

Sarah's last appearance before her move was in Villa's 3-0 win over Liverpool at the start of December, before remaining on the bench for the heavy defeat to leaders Manchester City in the final game before the winter break.
Good luck Sarah, but not too much. We hope to see you back in claret and blue.
💜💙
