Team news | No further updates ahead of United trip

Martin Ho says everyone who was available to face Manchester United last weekend in the Barclays Women’s Super League is ready for selection once again for this Sunday (kick-off 1pm) in the quarter-final of the Subway Women’s League Cup.

Charlotte Grant, Cathinka Tandberg and Olga Ahtinen will miss the trip to Leigh Sports Village this weekend – although our Head Coach revealed that all three are making good progress in their recoveries.

They will join long-term absentees Ella Morris, Maite Oroz and Jess Naz – who are all in rehabilitation for an anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL) – alongside defender Luana Buhler who is unavailable for selection for the trip to Manchester.

"It's the same squad,” Martin told the media in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon. “The positive thing is that some of the players that were out from the last international break are starting to return to training so that's really good to see.

“Some of them have been on the pitch and other players are making good progress. But going into the game, we're around the same squad really."
