Three to Miss Manchester City’s Visit to Liverpool

Wait 5 sec.

Manchester City will be without three key stars as they travel to struggling Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. Lauren Hemp, Rebecca Knaak and Kerolin will all miss the match through injury as Andree Jeglertz’ side look to continue their current winning streak.Knaak is yet to feature for the Blues this season after sustaining an injury whilst on international duty for Germany at the European Championships. But the good news is that Knaak is being eased into training and may soon be match fit. “I think she’s on her way back,” said Jeglertz ahead of Sunday’s clash. “But we don’t push it or force it so we take it almost from week to week or day to day. She’s on her way but we’ll take it easy.”However, the news isn’t as good in relation to Hemp and Kerolin, who haven’t featured for the Blues since their 5-1 win at Spurs in September. And the boss also updated fans on Australian international Mary Fowler, whi has been out since April with a ruptured ACL injury. “She’s working hard every day. She’s on her way and following the plan, but she has a long way to go after that big injury. There’s nothing that says anything has changed in it. She’s working hard every day and is on her way.”But City have no other injury concerns ahead of the match against old manager Gareth Taylor’s side. Liverpool are currently just ahead of West Ham at the bottom of the table, having lost all of their opening four matches, scoring one goal and conceding eight.It’s not the start that Taylor would have wanted, having lost 4-1 at home to Everton, 1-0 at Leicester and 2-0 at home to Manchester United. In their last outing, Taylor’s side lost 1-0 at the newly promoted London City Lionesses, and the Blues will be desperate to increase the pain and pressure on their former boss.
