TEAM NEWS UPDATE
Following the demanding match against City last weekend, Skinner addressed player availability for the upcoming game against Wolfsburg in his post-match press conference.
“Phallon [Tullis-Joyce] sustained a facial injury [against Aston Villa], so we’re currently assessing her condition. She wasn’t prepared to play today,” Marc explained.
“We’re consulting with specialists at the moment. She should be alright, but we want to ensure she doesn’t suffer another injury in that area. She could be back in time for Wolfsburg, but for now, we are monitoring her day by day. It shouldn’t be too long before she’s back, honestly.”
“As for Jayde [Riviere], I believe she was just fatigued when leaving the pitch,” he continued. “She exerted a lot of energy as a high-intensity player, which can lead to tiredness.”
“Ella had a scrape on her achilles, but she’s fine; I just needed to adjust the lineup for that game. Simi [Awujo] had a head clash and now has a noticeable lump, but there’s no concussion involved.”
“They’re all doing okay, and we hope to have them ready for Wednesday’s match.”
