Leicester’s Mouchon Sidelined by ACL Injury

Ahead of Leicester City’s Women’s Super League match against Brighton on Sunday, scheduled for a 14:00 GMT kick-off, manager Amandine Miquel addressed the media. Below are the main points from her press briefing. Miquel stated, “We’ve been lucky on this international break, because we have no injuries among the ones coming back.” Nevertheless, she verified that Noemie Mouchon sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during a training session. Regarding Jutta Rantala, her injury is not an ACL injury, but Miquel indicated it would be “quite a good wait” until her return. Missy Goodwin, who was absent from the victory over Everton due to an ankle injury, is “not 100%, but she’s feeling better.” When discussing the upcoming game against Brighton, Miquel commented: “It will be a difficult game because I think they’re doing things that are interesting with some good quality players with experience.” Despite the team’s shortage of attacking players due to injuries, the Leicester manager asserted: “What my feeling right now is that anyone that has two arms and two legs can score.” Miquel further remarked, “The start [of the season] has been slow, and we are going through difficulties with injuries, but I still believe that the main thing is the mentality.”
