Martin Ho has confirmed that Eveliina Summanen remains sidelined for Saturday’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with Everton.
The Finland international midfielder picked up a knock in our win at Birmingham City on 1 November and has missed our last two games as a result.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning, Head Coach Martin said the 28-year-old won’t be ready to face the Toffees, but he’s hopeful of having her back in the squad for the midweek clash with Leicester City in the Subway Players Cup.
“It’s as we were for the Crystal Palace game – no changes,” Martin said.
“Eveliina is more likely for Leicester going into that game – it just gives her a little bit more time and doesn’t force her back for this one.”
Martin added that he hopes to have Olga Ahtinen back in the frame for next weekend’s trip to Manchester City after she’s missed the last few matches over a niggling injury.
Alice Sombath, Clare Hunt and Maite Oroz remain out.
Kick-off at Brisbane Road on Saturday is at 3pm GMT.
