Gareth Taylor preview
The boss revealed in his pre-match press conference that Esme Morgan could make her return from an Achilles injury against the Vixens.
The defender has been sidelined since a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in January, but has returned to full training.
“Hopefully we get to see Esme this weekend,” Taylor explained.
“She’s very close, I would say. She’s back in training with us, so fingers crossed she’ll be there this weekend.”
