Matt Beard has confirmed striker Katie Stengel could return to action against Chelsea this weekend as Liverpool look to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester United.
Stengel was ruled out of last Sunday's clash after picking up a knock in training and her absence was keenly felt as the Reds were on the receiving end of a 6-0 mauling at Leigh Sports Village. Beard later branded the performance as "embarrassing" and offered an apology to the travellling fans, but the Liverpool boss is confident his squad will be able to put the result behind them when they travel to Kingsmeadow on Sunday.
"It was a tough afternoon," Beard said, reflecting on the United game, "I said what I said after the game and we’ve sat down and had a really positive week training.
