"They need to learn about women's bodies, they have to learn about the differences in the women's game, their menstrual cycle, sleep, nutrition and the performance elements around it. "I suspected that question would come up," said Hayes. "I'm very happy here at Chelsea, I've made that clear. I've been there for 11 years, it's my home.
