The prospect of Mary Fowler having Champions League football to inspire her on the long road to recovery have been virtually extinguished after her Manchester City side were held to a 1-1 home draw by Everton in the Women's Super League.
That she was in City's thoughts was evident when goalscorer Kerstin Casparij marked her goal by holding up a City shirt with Fowler's name on the back following the Australian's ACL injury last weekend.
However, the injury-hit team were unable to hold on to their 13th-minute lead with Everton, who included Matilda Clare Wheeler in their midfield, equalising through Karen Holmgaard 20 minutes later. The Dane headed in a cross from her identical twin sister Sara.
