The Norway international left the Joie Stadium for her current employers – and City’s opponents tomorrow – in January after 36 appearances and 10 goals in Blue.
A win for Gareth Taylor’s side would extend our 100% start to Group D; a record that Coombs and her team-mates are keen to maintain.
But the midfielder admits that, once the game is over, it’ll be nice to catch up with her former colleague.

Speaking on Blakstad, Coombs said: “No [I haven’t spoken to her yet] but I’m looking forward to catching up with her after the game.
“I always want Julie to do well. Not against us of course, but in general.
On maintaining our 100% record in Group D, the midfielder added: “I don’t think people need to speak about it, it’s what everyone wants.
“The game against Barcelona, there was already belief, but it’s given us a real belief it’s possible to go into Christmas top of the group.”
