Jeglertz provides fitness update ahead of Liverpool trip | OneFootball

Andrée Jeglertz says Rebecca Knaak is likely to miss City's trip to Liverpool this weekend.

And he also confirmed that Lauren Hemp and Kerolin are still unavailable for selection as we travel to Anfield.

The Blues have been without the services of the English forward and Brazilian winger since our fantastic 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in September.

Knaak is yet to feature in 2025/26 after sustaining an injury while representing Germany at the 2025 UEFA European Championships.

Although Jeglertz couldn't provide a timescale on Hemp and Kerolin's return to action, he explained Knaak is being eased back to action.

And he also says there should be no fresh concerns ahead of our clash with Liverpool on Sunday at 16:45 (UK).

"I hope we have as many players as possible [for Liverpool], I still think Lauren's not ready, Kerolin’s not ready but otherwise it looks good," he said.

"Becs [Knaak] probably isn’t there either but the others ones should hopefully be available.

"It’s about taking it slowly and not rushing it. I think she’s on her way back 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."

Jeglertz also provided an update on Mary Fowler's rehabilitation process with the Australia international recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

The injury has prevented the versatile forward from featuring since April and our head coach says she's working tirelessly with Club medical staff to return to full fitness.

He added: "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."
