Man City is again without a pair of familiar names in Alex Greenwood and the hemp Lauren. The two lionesses treat knee injuries.
Rebecca Knaak, who joined the club in January, breastfeeding a problem with the hamstrings and should miss.
Bunny Shaw is also faced with an injury to the hamstrings she suffered in the final on Saturday and is a doubt for the first leg. If the prolific striker is absent, Vivianne Miedema will probably move in Cushing’s attack with Jess Park joining Jill Roord and Yui Hasegawa in the midfield.
Han City chaired Lalup VS Chelsea (4-3-3): Yamashita; Casparij, Prior, Aleixandri, Ouahabi; Park, Hasegawa, Roord; Fujino, Fowler, Miedema.
Chelsea’s performance in the League Cup final should convince Bompastor to make some changes to his departure XI, but the Blues manager is still without a long list of players.
Naomi Girma, Sophie Ingle, Maelys Mpome, Kadeisha Buchanan, Sam Kerr, Zecira Musovic and Femke Liefing are all sidelined for visitors.
The Lioness Niamh Charles could start on the back left, while Aggie Beever-Jones is pressure for a start-up. Mayra Ramirez, who scored a few goals from the UWCL this quarter, should continue on the front line of Bompastor after opening the scoring on weekends.
Chelsea predicted programming against Man City (4-2-3-1): Hampton; Bronze, Bjorn, Bright, Charles; Cuthbert, nusken; Rytting Kanerney, Macario, James; Ramirer.
The signs were positive for Cushing’s City on Saturday, but the merciless sequence of Chelsea appeared when they claimed the first piece of silverware offered this season.
The Bompastor blues turns out to be an imperative force, and victories such as those they have being made on weekends renounce the belief that they are unbeatable. It is the only major trophy on which the London club has not got hold of it, and the new manager has a serious pedigree on the European scene.
An improved city is forced to operate visitors, but Chelsea will not be based on their laurels after Saturday’s victory. They will be determined to claim a large victory far from their home, unless they ensure their place in the last four.
