According to the source, the 23-year-old athlete, who recently became an ambassador for the Premier League club, may get her chance in the second half of the season.
Daria Bilodid is a bronze medalist of the 2020 Olympic Games, a three-time European champion and a two-time world judo champion.
Women’s team “Metalista 1925” plays in the elite division of Ukraine and this season has 15 points in 5 matches played.
The involvement of Bilodid in “Metalista 1925” is not the first example of a Ukrainian club signing a non-football star – previously, in a similar way, “Polyssia” announced cooperation with the world-famous boxer Oleksandr Usyk.
