Competition format
City enter the UEFA Women’s Champions League at the First Round stage in Group Four of the league path.
Should we get the better of Tomiris-Turan, we will face the winner of Real Madrid’s clash with Austrian side Sturm Graz in the Round One final.
All matches are being played at the same location, with the winners of this mini-tournament then facing a two-legged Round Two tie in order to qualify for the 16-team group stage that begins in October.
Team news
Ellie Roebuck, Alex Greenwood, Demi Stokes, Keira Walsh, Chloe Kelly, Lauren Hemp and Ellen White were all part of the squad who finished as Euro 2022 champions this summer.
And while White will not travel with the squad after being handed an extended period of leave due to personal reasons, Taylor explained that the rest of our England contingent could feature in Madrid
Taking a more general look at the squad, the City boss revealed that defender Ruby Mace would be the only other absentee ahead of our first competitive fixture of the season.
Gareth Taylor preview
“We’ve got some footage (of WFC Tomiris-Turan), and they are quite an aggressive team.
“They try to engage, whether they do it against us remains to be seen but we’re prepared for that. We’ve managed to do as much homework as we can.
“We won’t underestimate tomorrow’s opponents. We’ve got to make sure we do the job first and then address the following game after that.”
Previous encounter
Thursday’s clash represents the first meeting between City and Tomiris-Turan.
The Kazakhstani side, based in the city of Turkistan, are making their Champions League debut having finished as runners up in their domestic division last season.
