A wind turbine blade for a wind turbine is provided, the wind turbine blade including: an electrical conductor for conducting lighting strikes towards a hub of the wind turbine, a fiber sock fully enclosing the electrical conductor when seen in cross-section, a support element, and at least one finger connecting the support element and the fiber sock, the fiber sock, the support element and the at least one finger being made of electrically conductive fibers for conducting lightning strikes from the support element to the electrical conductor. Such a fiber sock mitigates the risk of delamination around the electrical conductor resulting from injected high voltages in case of lightning strikes.
