Jill Roord is ahead of schedule in her recovery from an ACL injury but Thursday’s game will come too soon for the midfielder, while summer signing Risa Shimizu is a long-term injury victim.
Vivianne Miedema has two goals in as many games for City after arriving from Arsenal in the summer and should keep her starting spot.
Clara Mateo came off at the interval in Paris FC Women’s 6-0 win over Guingamp Women last time out after scoring a brace and providing an assist, but that was not due to any injury concerns and she should start on Thursday.
