GalleryPhotos: Liverpool FC Women squad return to training
On the day the 2022-23 fixtures release revealed they will welcome champions Chelsea and Merseyside rivals Everton in their first two home league games of the season, manager Matt Beard and assistant Paul McHugh led the comeback to graft on the grass.
Captain Niamh Fahey and her teammates were joined by Heather Payne and Emma Bissell, two players training with LFC Women during their summer break from Florida State University.
The session also saw a couple of players from the club’s U21s step up to train with the first team.
The Reds’ Women’s Euro 2022 contingent of vice-captain Rachel Furness and new signing Emma Koivisto are still with their national teams, while summer arrival Gilly Flaherty will join up with the squad today.
