Problem with Whoscored scraper

[Oktay7v2]

Describe the bug
When i'm trying to run the simple line of code sd.Whoscored(league etc.) it gaves problem with the translation of the leagues names, i've tried to make some changes in the config.py file, and it seem to work, but when i run every other line of code as the one for read the schedules or for the api the chromedriver goes on whoscored and does nothing. I think the problem can regard the language of the site, when the chromedriver opens whoscored it goes directly in italian and maybe it blocks the scraping method but im not sure about it.

Affected scrapers
WhoScored

Code example

import soccerdata as sd

ws = sd.WhoScored(leagues="ENG-Premier League", seasons=2021, no_cache=True)

epl_schedule = ws.read_schedule()
epl_schedule.head()

Error message
