Andrée Jeglertz preview
The Boss provided an injury update on Lauren Hemp, confirming that she would be out of action for a few weeks.
Jeglertz also confirmed that Sydney Lohmann and Rebecca Knaak are back in training, which will be a massive boost to the squad.
Finally, he addressed the importance of holding a strong home form at the Joie Stadium.
“We would like to win all games, both home and away but the home stadium has to create a feeling of this is where we can be ourselves.
“This is where we feel comfortable with the grass, stadium, spectators. It’s important to come in with shoulders down and feel we are able to express ourselves here.”

Our last outing in the league saw us thrash Tottenham Hotspur 5-1.
Aoba Fujino fired City in front midway through the first 45 after a neat give and go with Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw.
Quickfire headers from Dutch duo Vivianne Miedema and Kerstin Casparij gave City some breathing space at half-time.
