Liverpool striker Leanne Kiernan could make her long-awaited return from injury in this weekend's Women's Super League clash with Manchester City.
Kiernan was an integral part of Liverpool's title-winning squad last term, notching 14 goals to help the Reds end their two-year stay in the Championship. However, she has been unavailable for much of the current campaign, having picked up an ankle injury in Liverpool's opening day victory over reigning WSL champions Chelsea.
However, manager Matt Beard has now confirmed Kiernan has returned to team training and looks set to feature in the matchday squad for Sunday's clash at Prenton Park.
