Rebecca Knaak returned to the matchday squad last weekend as City beat West Ham 1-0 at the Joie Stadium..

The Germany international has been working her way back to full fitness, alongside Lauren Hemp, Grace Clinton and Sydney Lohmann.

And ahead of our game at Goodison Park, Jeglertz said all but a few were involved in an intense week of training.

“The team is fine,” began the Head Coach.

“Of course,[there are] a couple of players not training who are on a longer rehab plan.

“Otherwise, [it was a] full week with more sessions, and we’re in a good place at the moment.”

Shortly after City’s win over West Ham last weekend, Jeglertz confirmed Alex Greenwood’s absence from the matchday squad was because of an injury.

She joins Mary Fowler and Lily Murphy in the list of players unavailable due to ongoing rehab.

Despite the City captain’s absence for a short period, Jeglertz is confident that all his players will help fill the gap that will be left by Greenwood’s omission from the team.

“Of course, it’s a massive loss to lose your captain, a great player and great leader,” said Jeglertz.

“This is what it’s about for the rest of the group to manage that.

“I’m not worried that it will be a challenge in the coming weeks. We will always miss Alex when she’s not on the field, but at the same time, others will feel they need to take a bigger responsibility, and I think that is key.

“It shows the group is strong because I don’t need to tell them that. It gives the team the challenge of figuring out how to deal with it.”
