“She’ll be back before the season wraps up. We’re looking at a timeline of about six to ten weeks, depending on her recovery progress from this point onward. So, it’s likely to be around six to eight weeks from now. We’re excited to see her back on the field before the season concludes. [Regarding her potential absence from European matches?] There’s a chance she might return in time for those matches, but it’s a daily assessment as her recovery improves. We need to prioritize what’s best for Ella as she comes back. We can’t rush her recovery, but I can confidently say she’ll be ready to play before the season ends.”
THE MAGIC OF THE FA CUP
“We’ve reached three FA Cup finals in as many years, which adds a touch of romance to this competition. However, it’s crucial that we don’t underestimate it. Burnley may be in a lower division, but they’re a determined team aiming for the WSL. Their ambition has been clearly articulated by their ownership. We need to take this match seriously. I also want to focus on our development as a team. While we secured a draw against Arsenal, there are aspects of our performance I’d like to see improved. We can be more dynamic with the ball. Defensively, we were solid, and I want to maintain that strength. My goal is to help us regain our rhythm and utilize these matches to push us forward.”
