He said “She’s ok. It was just from the United game where she made a block at the end and just tweaked her knee.”
No other injury news for Brighton ahead of this match as Vidosic continued “No one [on international duty] flagged anything, which is always good news, but we’ll assess them.”

Injuries have hurt the Foxes this season with Noémie Mouchon out for the season with an ACL injury, and injuries to Jutta Rantala and Shannon O’Brien, but Miquel still thinks they have enough firepower. “If I didn’t think we had enough to score and win the game, we wouldn’t go. My feeling right now is that we have players in the squad that can score goals, even if they’re not naturally forward players.”
Everton make three changes to their line up with Skipper Cayman, Ale and Swaby coming in for Takarada, Momiki and Bott. Brighton make two changes with Haley and McLauchlan in for Thorisdottir and Bremer.
