Jonna Ann-Charlotte Andersson (born 2 January 1993) is a Swedish football defender who plays for English club Chelsea and the Sweden women's national football team.

Club career[]

Andersson signed for Linköpings FC in 2009 and made two league appearances in her first season as the club won the Damallsvenskan title. After three seasons where she was mainly a substitute, in the 2013 season she became an important starting player on the team.[2] She now plays as a defender for Chelsea Ladies in the FA WSL league, and has renewed her contract until 2022.[3]

Andersson won the Women's Super League both in 2020 and the 2021 season. The 2020 WSL title was given to Chelsea on a points-per-game basis after the league was stopped due to the coronavirus pandemic.[4]

International career[]

As a Sweden under-19 international Andersson featured at the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Turkey.[5] Sweden won the tournament by beating Spain 1–0 in the final after extra time.[6]

National team coach Pia Sundhage called up Andersson for the first time in January 2016 for a friendly against Scotland, as a replacement for Amanda Ilestedt who had a back injury. She played at left-back as the Scots were drubbed 6–0 at Prioritet Serneke Arena.[7] Andersson retained her place in the squad for the 2016 UEFA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[8]
