With Arsenal not playing this weekend, due to the Gunners not being in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Russo took to social media to praise her mum, Carol Russo, on Mother's Day. The former Manchester United forward paid homage to her mother with some photos of the two over the years and a touching line or two.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Posting photos of the two embracing, she wrote in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/alessia/" target="_blank">Instagram story</a>: "Happy Mother's Day to my best friend. Love you always."<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt45d2ba7854adac47/Stories-%E2%80%A2-Instagram_(11).png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt45d2ba7854adac47/Stories-%E2%80%A2-Instagram_(11).png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt45d2ba7854adac47/Stories-%E2%80%A2-Instagram_(11).png?format=jpg" alt="Russo story" data-source="Instagram (alessia)" data-copyright="Instagram (alessia)" data-portal-copyright="Instagram (alessia)" perform:prop="uuid:blt45d2ba7854adac47;width:456;height:789"></picture>

WHAT ALESSIA RUSSO SAID

Arsenal return to Women's Super League action on Friday away to defending champions Chelsea at Kingsmeadow. The Blues are two places and three points ahead of the Gunners, and if Jonas Eidevall's team can beat Emma Hayes' side on their own patch they will draw level with the west London outfit.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After this upcoming heavyweight clash, Arsenal, who thumped Chelsea 4-1 in the reverse WSL fixture back in December, travel to Aston Villa on March 24 before facing the Blues in the final of the FA WSL Cup on March 31.
