Liverpool FC Women will be without Jasmine Matthews, captain Niamh Fahey and Yana Daniels for the trip to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

The Reds travel to the capital for a meeting with the Blues on Saturday afternoon in the Barclays Women's Super League, with kick-off set for 1.30pm GMT.

Matt Beard offered an update on the health of his squad ahead of the fixture in a pre-match press conference on Friday, revealing Liverpool will be without three players for the contest.

The boss said: "Jas is out for six to eight weeks; she's got a hamstring tear.

"Niamh Fahey has been back in training this week, but Saturday is too soon for her. We've been pleased with how she has progressed; she'll be available probably for Man United in midweek.

"Then the only other one that will be missing will be Yana Daniels, who has got a bit of a tight groin, so we're not going to take a risk with that, especially with Jas being out, it would leave us a bit light at the bottom end of the pitch."
