Everton forward Nicoline Sorensen says she is relishing the chance to face Liverpool in her first ever Merseyside derby this week
The Denmark international joined the Blues from Brondby in July 2020, with the opportunity to play in high-profile games such as the derby one of the key factors that lured her to Walton Hall Park. Liverpool's relegation to the Championship - coupled with Sorensen's prolonged absence after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) - means she has had to wait patiently to be in contention to feature against Everton's city rivals.
The 25-year-old watched from the sidelines as Brian Sorensen's side took on Liverpool at Anfield back in September, when goals from Megan Finnigan, Jess Park and Hanna Bennison helped the Blues to a comprehensive victory in front of a 27,000-strong crowd. And now, nearly four months after her return from injury, Sorensen is hoping she can help Everton triumph over the Reds for a second time this season, this time at Goodison Park.
