Aston Villa boss Robert de Pauw has been speaking to the media before Saturday’s Women’s Super League game against Brighton (kick-off 12:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
-
Anna Leat, Georgia Mullett and Jill Baijings are expected to start to training again in the next two weeks.
-
Villa are continuing to build up Gabi Nunes’ minutes in a “structured and sensible way”.
-
However, he added Nunes, who joined from Levante in the summer, made a “good impression” on her debut in the League Cup against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
-
After seeing Everton’s two ACL injuries, De Pauw said “you cannot be careful enough”.
-
De Pauw said it is a “privilege” to work with experienced players like “go-getter” Rachel Daly and the “very driven” Jordan Nobbs.
