Liverpool F.C. Games Disruption: Friendly Cancelled Amid Injury Concerns
Liverpool F.C. Games Impacted by Injuries
The Liverpool F.C. Women were set to continue their preseason preparations on Sunday with a friendly at Manchester United's Carrington training facility. Sadly, that match has been cancelled. Manager Matt Beard provided an update regarding the situation, stating that the team had too many injuries to field a competitive squad.
“Unfortunately, over the last few weeks we’ve picked up a number of injuries to players who were involved in the international window during the close-season,” Beard noted, acknowledging the squad's limited availability. “This has made it best to take this opportunity for a reset.”
Acknowledging Support and Planning Ahead
Beard extended his gratitude to Manchester United for their understanding during this challenging time. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the bigger picture and preparing for the opening game of the season against Leicester City on September 22.
While this news is disappointing during preseason, Beard did not provide specifics about the injured players but reassured fans that time remains to recover, with a month still left in the extended preseason. Liverpool will face Birmingham on Sept. 1, Manchester City on Sept. 7, and Everton on Sept. 15 for their remaining friendlies.
