Liverpool boss Matt Beard has been speaking to the media before Sunday’s Women’s Super League game against Manchester City (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
-
Midfielder Sofie Lundgaard was “upset and down” after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Tottenham but is starting to get “back to good spirits”, says Beard.
-
She was in the gym on Friday morning to see the players despite waiting for surgery on her knee injury.
-
“We will support her through that process and keep her involved as much as we can,” added Beard.
-
Manchester City were “excellent” in their 2-0 win over Barcelona in the Women’s Champions League this week, says Beard.
-
He adds: “We know where we are. We’ve beaten Manchester City before and they have beaten us. It will be a tough game. We will concentrate on our game and hopefully that is enough.”
