Talking about missing referees has S Massie-Ellis more or less given up - very few on field appointments and a few VAR appointments - injured? - how long does someone remain on list with practically no appointments
I have asked this in the past and it seemed at the time she was injured but had now recovered but seems to be a specialist AVAR
I hope we see her back, as she's a fantastic AR
She was injured during last season, came back for the women's Euros as an AR and then did a few women's league games but thats it. Just a few AVAR appointments since. She is a very good AR
