Once a Blue: Carli Lloyd](https://www.mancity.com/features/carli-lloyd-once-a-blue)
Yui Hasegawa, Ayaka Yamashita, Aoba Fujino, Risa Shimizu and Aemu Oyama are all enjoying life in Manchester and challenging themselves in Europe.
So far in this series, we’ve seen them get used to living here and complete the quintet with the addition of Oyama.
In this episode, we focus on Shimizu’s recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that meant she missed her first season in Manchester.
The full-back hasn’t had the easiest start to life at City, having watched her team-mates from the sidelines, but the support network both from Club staff as well as her compatriots has been a key factor in helping her through.
This episode catches up with the 29-year-old as she works towards getting back on the pitch!
