Mouchon Out For The Season, Says Miquel
- LCFC Women return to Barclays Women's Super League action this weekend
- City travel to Broadfield Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon (2pm GMT kick-off)
- Amandine Miquel provided a squad update ahead of the fixture
- Noémie Mouchon was confirmed to be out for the season with an ACL injury
The Foxes return to domestic action this weekend, following a week-long absence for the international break, when they face an in form Brighton & Hove Albion side at Broadfield Stadium.
Looking to keep the momentum going after a 1-0 win over Everton last time out, the Manager confirmed that everyone that went away to feature for their countries has returned fully fit, but sadly announced that French forward Mouchon is out for the rest of the campaign due to an ACL injury.
"Most of the international players came back today and we've been lucky because they've come back without injury," Miquel told the media in Thursday press conference. "Sometimes you worry about players going away but they did well, got minutes and come back to us in good shape.
"We weren't sure straight away, but we have now assessed the injury to Noémie Mouchon. It's probably the longest injury she could have. We can't say a time right now but she'll be out for the season."
Discussing the potential lack of options in forward areas, the 40-year-old said that England forward Missy Goodwin is feeling better, but not fully fit after her withdrawal from the Under-23s squad while last season's top scorer Jutta Rantala won't be available for the short term at least.
The Manager added: "Missy [Goodwin] is feeling better, not 100 per cent but feeling better now. Nothing more to report on Jutta Rantala, it's not an ACL injury, but still a injury that will keep her out for a while."
