Manchester City have reported that Mary Fowler is back training with the squad and closing in on her return after her ACL injury -- but their latest Women's FA Cup romp has only emphasised how hard it will be for her to get back in their rampant side.
In the build-up to their 6-0 waltz at third-division Bournemouth on Sunday, City's coach Andree Jeglertz had provided an encouraging update about Fowler's fitness, declaring: "She's on her way."
"She's been with us for a couple of sessions now. A little modified, but she's training well with the team," added the Swedish boss of the star Matilda who's still recovering from the ruptured ACL she suffered in April in last season's FA Cup semi with Manchester United.
