Press conferenceLFC Women team news: Leanne Kiernan update
Liverpool FC Women will check on the fitness of Leanne Kiernan ahead of Sunday’s hosting of Manchester City at Anfield.
Kiernan was absent from last weekend's defeat at London City Lionesses and could now miss a second game in a row with a foot problem.
The Reds welcome City in Barclays Women’s Super League action in a 4.45pm BST kick-off.
“Since last time out I think we just need to do a later check on Leanne Kiernan,” head coach Gareth Taylor told his pre-match press conference on Friday.
“She's just got a bit of an issue with her foot. Lucy Parry was missing with a hamstring issue and Lily Woodham also has the same issue with her hamstring, which she’s getting back a little bit closer with.
“Rachael Laws is stepping up. Ale Bernabe is getting a little bit closer as well and Zara Shaw is a bit further away.
“Outside of what we had in the last game, we were just hoping to get Leanne back - but I think this weekend might be a bit too soon for her.”
