Alex Greenwood has been ruled out of England's upcoming international friendly against Japan.

The defender sustained a minor injury during Sunday’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with Reading, which saw City earn our fifth successive victory in all competitions.

However, it is hoped that Greenwood will be available for selection once again ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Norway.

Former City defender Lucy Bronze also misses out having tested positive for COVID-19.

With Ellie Roebuck, Sandy MacIver, Esme Morgan, Chloe Kelly and Jess Park all receiving call-ups for the latest round of friendlies, City still boast a strong cohort ahead of Friday’s clash.

They could all line up against City team-mate Yui Hasegawa, who has been selected as part of Japan’s squad.

Kick-off at Spain’s Pinatar Arena is set for 19:00 (UK) and, as always, a City-centric match report will be available to view on mancity.com and the official Man City app soon after full-time.

CITY V UNITED: ETIHAD DERBY

City welcome Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 11 December.

Kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 (UK), with tickets selling fast for our third-ever women’s match at the Etihad.

We hosted Everton there back in May 2014, before welcoming our local rivals in September 2019, when Caroline Weir’s wonder strike saw us run out 1-0 winners in front of what was then a WSL record crowd, and what remains a club record of 31, 213 fans.

With over 30,000 tickets already sold, it promises to be another historic occasion.
