Leicester are back in Barclays Women's Super League action this weekend, with a first trip to Emirates Stadium to face the third-placed Gunners on the horizon this Sunday afternoon (2pm BST kick-off).

Prior to the game, Foster spoke to the media during Friday's press conference at Belvoir Drive and provided positive news that Australian full-back Nevin is back training with the squad heading into the game.

Courtney [Nevin] is back in training and back in for contention.

Elsewhere, young striker Denny Draper remains sidelined with injury, however Leicester were boosted in the Adobe Women's FA Cup Semi-Final against Tottenham Hotspur with the return of Shannon O'Brien from the bench and Janina Leitzig who was among the substitutes.

"We're looking pretty good at the moment," the Assistant Manager explained. "Denny [Draper] is still out unfortunately but Courtney [Nevin] is back in training and back in for contention, so that gives us another option in defence."
