”Johanna has played a major role in our successes since she came to the club before the 2022–2023 season. She has been one of the players who have made the most matches for us during the last two seasons”, says Paul Green, head of Chelsea's women's football section, to the club's website.

Rytting Kaneryd has since she went to Chelsea won three straight league titles, taken home two FA cup titles and won the league cup once. This season, the team won the English top league without losing a single match – the result was 19 wins and 3 draws.

In Chelsea, the blue and yellow defender Nathalie Björn also plays. Earlier in the spring, it became clear that the pregnant national team goalkeeper Zecira Musovic is leaving the club.
