NewsTeagan Micah injury update
By Steve Hunter
The Australia international missed Sunday's opening Barclays Women's Super League fixture, which saw the Reds play out a 1-1 draw with Leicester City at St Helens Stadium.
Micah will continue to be assessed by the club's medical team.
Beard told Liverpoolfc.com: "Teagan had a scan last week, which showed it was a grade one ankle tear.
"She was hoping to return but it opened up again, so I think she will need another scan. But I would have thought she won't be available for at least a month."
