Ahead of their trip south, Kirk provided a fitness update on his squad during Monday's press conference at Belvoir Drive and told the media that striker O'Brien is edging towards selection, since spending more then four months on the sidelines.
“There’s a couple of knocks which we will make a late call on," Kirk explained. "And there’s a late decision to be made on O’Brien, who might be back in the squad for the first time in a while, but we need to see how she reacts to training today.
“Other than that, there’s nothing major, or no news at the moment that rules anybody out, and we’re hopeful that remains the case ahead of Wednesday’s game against Chelsea."
