Jayde Riviere was able to carry on and complete 88 minutes after going down in the first half, while Celin Bizet and Leah Galton both came off after receiving treatment in the second half. Skinner did, however, give a positive update on their respective situations in his press conference, saying: “Jayde just took a knock on her ankle from that collision. Hopefully, it’ll be absolutely fine.
“Leah was, I think, more precautionary and Celin exactly the same. So for us, I’m hoping that we’re assessing Celin. I wouldn’t imagine it’s too long, but we’ll see if she goes away on international duty, just because, obviously she had to come off for the second game running with a similar situation. So we’ll check on her to see whether we make a decision about international duty.”
During his post-match MUTV chat with Zarah Connolly, Marc also gave an insight as to why goalscorer Grace Clinton was subbed just after the hour mark, explaining: “Grace had a bit of illness this week so we changed her. Again, maturity from her to recognise the game was run and she needed to come off.”
