After a couple of weeks of concern surrounding injury news, and players missing out on Tuesday to continue their recovery, Renée Slegers has made one change to her starting lineup from the side that started against Leicester in the WSL on Tuesday.
Arsenal host Lyon in the first leg of their UWCL semi-final at Emirates Stadium today. They’ll be looking to make their mark on the French giants and use the home support to their advantage ahead of travelling to France next weekend.
The main team news is that Alessia Russo is back in the starting lineup after taking a knock on international duty with England and Manuela Zinsberger continues her stint in goal in the absence of the injured Daphne van Domselaar. Stina Blackstenius drops to the bench, despite her performance on Tuesday.
The Arsenal starting lineup is:
Manuela Zinsberger, Emily Fox, Leah Williamson, Steph Catley, Mariona Caldentey, Kim Little, Katie McCabe, Alessia Russo, Beth Mead, Frida Maanum, Caitlin Foord
Substitutes:
Naomi Williams, Amanda Ilestedt, Jenna Nighswonger, Katie Reid, Lia Wälti, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Victoria Pelova, Rosa Kafaji
