Early team news 📋
Despite the busy fixture schedule, which sees us in action twice in less than 72 hours, the boss was upbeat when asked about the shape of his squad heading into the weekend.
City were boosted by the return of Steph Houghton to the substitute’s bench on Thursday evening, with the captain successfully recovering from an ankle injury.
However, January signings Poppy Pritchard and Laura Blindkilde Brown are cup tied, so unable to feature at Brisbane Road.
The team will have had one final training session at the City Football Academy on Saturday before travelling down, so here’s hoping that everyone’s come through unscathed.
