Everton Women have been dealt a blow ahead of the weekend's Women's Super League clash with Tottenham, with the Blues likely to be without defender Katrine Veje for their trip to Brisbane Road.
Conventionally a left-black, the Danish international has proven her versaility when deployed in a back three by Brian Sorensen, and has featured in all six of Everton's league games this season. However, the 31-year-old was forced the leave the field on 81 minutes after picking up a knock in Sunday's defeat to Manchester United.
And the Everton manager confirmed on Friday that Veje is unlikely to feature for the Blues before the upcoming international break.
