Miquel on Tierney's injury and importance of West Ham game
- Published
Leicester boss Amandine Miquel has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Women's Super League game against West Ham (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from her news conference:
Miquel does not know how long Sam Tierney will be out with the ankle injury she sustained in last weekend's 1-0 defeat by Brighton, but she will not be available on Sunday.
There's also no timescale for Lena Petermann's return.
Asked if Leicester were at a crisis point with injuries, Miquel said "We're not there yet".
She said that the club are holding out for the January transfer window, rather than bringing in players on free transfers.
The Leicester boss is "really pleased" with how few goals her side are conceding.
On Leicester's 5-2 pre-season win over West Ham, Miquel said: "It feels like it was a long time ago, and when we're in a very different situation then".
With tough tests against Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea before the winter break, Miquel said that three points against West Ham would make "mental aspects easier".
