Sometimes, some injuries don't need disclosing. It could be personal or intrusive.

Her leg was in a cast at the last game

Any news on what is happening about this matter yet?

Cleared of the charge. Good news.

Manchester City Women cleared of Continental Cup charge
Manchester City Women will continue in the Continental Cup after a charge of fielding an ineligible player was found not proven by the FA Women's Super League management committee.

City were alleged to have to played an unregistered player in their cup group match against Sunderland on 15 August.

The charge caused the cup holders's scheduled quarter-final with Arsenal on 13 September to be postponed.

In a statement, the FA said the fixture would now be rearranged.

Great news anyhow

Can't see City messing up like this. Bet we registered the player and the FA lost the form ( and yes it will be an electronic file).

Some on here will feel embarrassed...

Looks like the FArce got it wrong!!

Not proven is an odd verdict. Either we did or we didn't! Not proven is one of those 'halfway house' verdicts which is neither black nor white!

 

[This and only this]

'Not proven' is an odd verdict.

I thought that was odd too. It could mean that a charge was made by a third party and that the FA was unable to prove said charge. Semantics I know but it makes a sort of sense to me at least.

A club cock up maybe, but before taking to field teamsheets are submitted, how hard is it for a fourth offical to check all players are regitered... saves future embarressment and a game being declared as a different result etc. I mean if they kick City out, fans should be reimbursed etc

Ha! Ha! I had to check I'd not lost the ability to read when I saw this post. Yep, the 4th official should know the exact details of all registered players prior to a match and it shouldn't be the responsibility of the clubs to get this right, As they jog down the tunnel, we could have the official standing there with a barrier type mechanism, letting all correctly-registered players through and holding back all the miscreants, to be placed in a special pen.

I'm just so happy this has been resolved. Women's football. It's brilliant.

Very strange outcome, onwards and upwards.
