The injuries saw that the city was thin on the ground in the defense department, as Captain Alex Greenwood was left side after undergoing knee surgery. The acquisition for January Rebecca Knaak is also out of action after suffering her knees injury during an international break with Germany.

“There was never a game that happened to us today where we didn’t want to replace because we try to protect the load. We have a lot of injuries, we have a small squad. As I say, it was a luxury that was Jill [Roord] and Mary [Fowler] On the bench today. “
