Liverpool FC Women head coach Gareth Taylor has provided fresh injury updates on forward Mia Enderby and midfielder Ceri Holland.

Enderby was forced off during the second half of Liverpool’s 4-1 Subway Women’s League Cup victory over Aston Villa on Wednesday night. However, Taylor is confident the forward’s injury will not keep her out of action for an extended period.

Liverpool came from behind to beat Aston Villa. Former Red Missy Bo Kearns opened the scoring at St Helens Stadium before Marie Hobinger equalised in the first half.

Both sides missed opportunities to take the lead until substitute Cornelia Kapocs produced a moment of quality with a curling finish.

Beata Olsson then sealed an emphatic victory with a quickfire double in the closing stages, scoring with a header and a close-range finish. The result takes Gareth Taylor’s side to nine points from four matches in the group stage.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon, the head coach said: “I think Mia is going to be OK. She was sent for an X-ray today – I think that has come back clear.

“Hopefully we can potentially get her back out on the pitch. Whether that’s quick enough for the turnaround for the weekend, we’ll wait and see. We train tomorrow and we travel tomorrow.”

The Reds travel to face Brighton on Saturday in the Barclays Women’s Super League (5.15pm GMT kick-off). Holland will miss the fixture as she continues her recovery from an injury that has restricted her to just two appearances this season.

“She’s getting there, getting a little bit closer,” said Taylor. “We won’t see her this weekend but we’re hoping that the last few games we have before the international break we’re able to get her a little bit closer.”

Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways against Brighton. The Reds currently sit 12th in the Barclays Women’s Super League table with eight points.
