A first sighting of the team since mid-December, City impressed on the pitch as they confirmed their spot in the Adobe Women's FA Cup Fifth Round, where they will face Manchester City at Joie Stadium.

While there were positive appearances in the form of Shannon O'Brien and Sam Tierney, who returned to the pitch for the first time since being taken off on a stretcher against Brighton & Hove Albion towards the back end of last year.

One worry was the first-half injury to Hannah Cain, but the Manager provided an update, stating the Foxes will see how she is faring over the next couple of days, but doesn't expect her to be out for long.

Tierney played a half-hour on Wednesday evening.

"We'll have more info on Hannah [Cain] today, but again it's an offensive player that's picked up an injury," Miquel told the media. "I don't think it'll be a long-term injury, but well have to see for this weekend."

Discussing Tierney's fitness, the LCFC Women Manager added: "Physically I think she was okay and did well. She only played 30 minutes but felt good so now it's about pushing her to have more minutes.

"After the game was postponed on Sunday (because of a frozen pitch), we wanted to put it on Wednesday to have that game before Spurs. We had been preparing for it and it was a good test to get us back up to speed ahead of continuing our league campaign this weekend."
