The 20-year-old became the latest in the Cityzens’ ranks to be side-lined, following a shin injury in Sunday’s Barclays FAWSL match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Head coach Sarina Wiegman will not be calling up a replacement, as England take on North Macedonia in the first of their Group D World Cup qualifying matches this Friday (kick-off 7pm BST) at St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton. Click here to buy tickets.
