Lauren Hemp, a key player for Manchester City, is nearly back on the pitch after undergoing successful knee surgery. She had a standout performance prior to her injury, assisting three goals in a WSL match. Defender Alex Greenwood also recently had surgery for an MCL injury but is progressing well. City manager Gareth Taylor provides optimistic updates, noting both players are in rehabilitation and could return after the upcoming international break. Their determination to return reflects their commitment to the team as they seek to support City’s ongoing campaign.
Hopefully when the next window comes [after the international break] they can start to see those players coming back, the manager said in a press conference last week. They are on the grass at the moment, not training with the team, more in isolation.
Lauren is probably a little bit further ahead than Alex. She was back on pitch last week, Alex had her first on-pitch session today in isolation away from the team.
They are so determined to be there for the team and pushing the medical department massively on what the expectations are and the data that's been set.
I've heard they're [Lauren and Alex] talking it up a bit about making it sooner, which we'd love because it tells us they really care and want to be there for the team.
