- Monique Robinson played for Loughborough Lightning in their 3-0 loss to Boldmere St.Michaels - Charlie Devlin started in Birmingham City's 2-1 win over Southampton- Sophie Barker played a full 90 minutes as Sheffield United beat Bristol City 1-0- Connie Scofield lasted the whole game as Coventry United drew 1-1 with Lewes- Natasha Flint was a second half substitute in Celtic's 2-0 win over Partick Thistle

As the 2022/23 campaign draws closer to its conclusion, there has been a short break in fixtures to allow for players to head out on international duty, with nine Foxes all featuring for their country among April's games.

Therefore the last time that City were in Barclays Women's Super League action was when they recorded their third win of the season, after Carries Jones' 96th minute winner against Reading at King Power Stadium almost two weeks ago.

It has been a similar case in the Barclays Women's Championship, with a short break in play while international fixtures took place, however one Fox that has been in action at a club level is Robinson.

The academy graduate who has started to feature more regularly for Leicester's first team, most notably when she was subbed on to score her first WSL goal in a 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, is also dual-registered with local side Loughborough.

With no City matches on the recent schedule, the midfielder was able to rejoin her Lightning team-mates, and played a full game in their 3-0 loss to Boldmere St.Michaels on Sunday, leaving them at the foot of the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division.

Elsewhere, Charlie Devlin, currently on loan to Birmingham City, was last in action in a 2-1 win over Southampton, playing 79 minutes as a strike from Jade Pinnock and an own goal by Saints' striker Ella Pusey leaves the Blues third in the Championship with 35 points. Up next for Devlin's side is a league clash with Crystal Palace, who are five points behind Birmingham in fifth place.

Sophie Barker, who is spending the season with Sheffield United, will hope to next be in action when they take on bottom-placed Coventry United this weekend. The loanee last played when the Blades beat high-flyers Bristol City at the start of April. Courtney Sweetman-Kirk scored the only goal of the match for the side currently ninth in the standings.

Closer to home, Coventry drew 1-1 with Lewes, in what was their first stalemate of the season, taking their points tally to seven, but confirming relegation to the third tier. Connie Scofield played the full game, with Ellen Jones an unused substitute at The Dripping Pan in East Sussex.

Natasha Flint, who joined Celtic in January of this year, played 90 minutes of a 1-1 draw with Rangers, before being introduced in the 63rd minute as the Hoops beat Partick Thistle 2-0 last time out.

Celtic sit second as the second phase of the Scottish season unfolds, with a vital fixture against the league leaders up next. Glasgow City, currently eight points clear at the summit, welcome Flint's side to Petershill Park on Sunday afternoon.
