We are three days into the Women's World Cup and while the on-field action has been exhilarating, the off-field drama has been just as attention grabbing.

Here's the five talking points heading into the third day of action.

Calf injuries are notoriously difficult to figure out.

A grade one strain can fix itself in a week to 10 days. Up it to a grade two, and you're talking four to six weeks. A grade three — where you're really struggling to walk at all — is three months.
