Alisha Lehmann might’ve been caught going offside, and the consequences could be more than just hearing a ref’s whistle.
Lehmann, who has been dubbed the “World’s Sexiest Footballer,” posted some very revealing photos of herself on Instagram last week — much to the delight of her millions of followers on social media.
But the sexy snaps — posted as part of a paid partnership with Italian underwear brand Tezenis — of the blonde beauty clad in black lingerie might have her in hot water with Instagram.
In the set of three photos, Lehmann is seen posing in an all-black set of underwear with a netted transparent skin over the top.
The Swiss soccer star then lifts up the skin in one of the snaps to flaunt the risque lingerie.
However, it may not be up for long as it could be in violation of the social-media platform’s rules regarding sexual content.
Instagram’s rules state that “content that may be sexually explicit or suggestive, such as pictures of people in see-through clothing” is considered “sensitive.”

The site adds that it will “remove content that contains adult nudity or sexual activity.”
Should the post get taken down, you would bet that Lehmann’s nearly 17 million Instagram followers may kick up a fuss. In just a few days, the post has racked up more than 400,000 likes on the platform.
Lehmann has had some free time recently to take part in photoshoots, while being sidelined with a thigh injury. The midfielder had joined the Italian soccer giants this past summer, scoring two goals and one assist in 23 matches prior to her injury.
Last month, Lehmann said that modelling could be big part of her future after dropping jaws with a Valentine’s Day lingerie photoshoot, admitting that she feels “really confident in front of the camera.”
The 26-year-old shared a lingerie photoshoot for Tezenis Underwear on Valentine’s Day to launch a new collection. Lehmann was featured in a couple dozen new items for the Italian fashion brand.
The blonde beauty, who is dating fellow Juventus star Douglas Luiz, told Swiss outlet 20 minutes that she very much enjoyed the new type of exposure in front of the camera.
“I received an inquiry and then the Valentine’s collection was created. We really had a very good collaboration and a great shoot,” she said.
“We were able to take very beautiful pictures. I’m happy!”
She also said that modelling hadn’t been on her bucket list, but she welcomed the opportunity.
“I wouldn’t say that working as a model was on my bucket list,” she said with a laugh. “But it is certainly cool and it is definitely a change.
“I always feel confident in front of the camera. That’s why I really enjoy modelling. And when you work with different people, you can always learn something. I wouldn’t say that I’m a model, I’m a footballer.”
