Everton Manager Brian Sorensen Addresses Injuries, Goal-Scoring Issues, and Upcoming Chelsea Match

Brian Sorensen, the manager of Everton, addressed the media ahead of Sunday’s Women’s Super League fixture against Chelsea, scheduled to take place at Goodison Park with an 18:45 GMT kick-off. The following are the main points from his press conference: Regarding player injuries, Sorensen stated that “it wasn’t the best international window for us,” indicating that several players require assessment. He also expressed doubt about Clare Wheeler’s availability for Sunday’s match, as she has been experiencing sickness. When questioned about Everton’s difficulties in scoring, Sorensen remarked, “That’s something we need to fix.” He further elaborated, “I think we have the players in the squad to do it [score], but the ones we have out [injured], there is big, big quality missing.” The Everton manager conveyed his hope that his team could secure “four or six” points from their forthcoming matches prior to the next international break. Addressing Megan Finnigan’s situation, Sorensen confirmed she is contending with injury problems, but he added, “She’s a true blue and Evertonian and she loves the club, and she’s really good captain.” Sorensen described Chelsea as possessing an “unreal” squad, indicating that securing three points against them on Sunday would be “the biggest ask.” He stated that “we have to be at our very best, as we were at Emirates,” referencing their 0-0 draw against Arsenal earlier in the current season.
