Liverpool Women could be handed a huge boost ahead of next weekend's Women's Super League clash with Manchester City.
The Reds have endured a tough start to their league campaign, earning just three points from four games with back-to-back defeats against Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal. While Matt Beard's side did well to limit a rampant Arsenal to just two goals in front of a record crowd at Prenton Park on Sunday, their inability to score from open play once again proved costly.
American striker Katie Stengel is the only Liverpool player to register a league goal this season, netting twice from the penalty spot to secure a shock win over last season's champions, Chelsea, on the opening day of the campaign. The momentous victory was somewhat marred by an injury to Republic of Ireland international Leanne Kiernan, who scored 14 goals last term and was named the club's player of the season as the Reds returned to the top flight of the women's game.
