Rick Passmoor has provided a fitness update ahead of our WSL test with West Ham United
The injuries of Jutta Rantala, Celeste Boureille and Hlín Eiríksdóttir were discussed
He confirmed that Denny Draper has had her first time running back on grass

The young forward, who has not featured since a 5-2 win over Bristol City back in February of 2024, a game which she scored in, due to two-long term injuries.

Passmoor discussed her ongoing recovery, mentioning a landmark moment in her rehab, and also spoke about the other longer-term injuries and their progression, as we build towards a test against West Ham this weekend.

"In terms of long-term, Celeste [Boureille], Jutta [Rantala] and Denny [Draper] are still working their way back," the Manager told the media during Friday's press conference. "Hlín [Eiríksdóttir] is also still working to come back to the squad.

"Around the business, Denny has handled her recovery amazingly. She comes from a good background, she's always got a smile and she's around the team.

"Today was the first time back running on the pitch, and the whole squad, including staff, are so proud of her.

"You don't want to put a timeline on her recovery, but you may see her in First Team training towards the back end of the season."
