The Barclays Women’s Super League is back but back-heeler extraordinaire Alessia Russo remains on the treatment table.
Manchester United's clash with Brighton on Sunday comes too soon for the 23-year-old who missed England's friendlies against USA and Czech Republic. A return to action is not far off, however, with United boss Marc Skinner impressed by the way Russo has dug into recovery.
“She's progressing really, really nicely and I've been really impressed by her attitude to this,” he said. "She's grown up massively and I'm so pleased with the way she's approached it, the way that she performs in training, so to have her back on the field (on Wednesday) morning with a smile on her face was a really nice thing."
