Matt Beard has confirmed Liverpool are set to be without Shanice van de Sanden for up to two months after the winger picked up an injury ahead of last week's abandoned Women's Super League clash with Chelsea.
The game at Kingsmeadow was called off with less than seven minutes on the clock due to a frozen pitch, with Beard revealing last Wednesday than Van de Sanden had felt a twinge in her knee after slipping in the warm up. The Dutch international was absent from Liverpool's second consecutive meeting with Chelsea on Sunday, in which a Sam Kerr hat-trick saw the Reds dumped out of the FA Cup in the fourth round.
And the Liverpool boss confirmed after the game that the winger is now set to spend a considerable spell on the sidelines as she battles her way back to fitness.
