Ahead of their first game of season on Sunday away at Charlton Women he addressed the media in a pre match press conference and stated:“I think my biggest challenge this season with these players is convincing them that they’re good because we are.“Does that mean we’re going to go out and win six, seven eight games on the bounce? “We have a couple of small issues,” said head coach Taylor at his pre-match press conference on Thursday.“Unfortunately, Anna Josendal, who has had a really good pre-season, has sustained a slight issue with her hamstring which is going to keep her out for a period of time.“Fortunately, it doesn’t need surgery.

But it’s a shame that one because Anna has had a tough ride since she’s come in with niggling injuries and can’t quite get right.“We’ve seen there’s a really good player in there, so a shame, because she was looking so good in pre-season. She is doing well, she is back in full training now but she just needs more training volume in her tank, that’s all.”Mia Enderby has also missed several games during pre-season through injury, likely ruling her out of the opener.New signing, Itamura would not have been involved at The Valley in any case, having been selected for the U20 Women’s World Cup by Japan.But it was announced earlier this week that she has withdrawn from her country’s squad as a result of undergoing abdominal surgery.“Yeah, a real shame,” said Taylor.

That’s going to keep her out for a period of time, which is a shame because it’s a shame for us but also a shame for her in the sense of an opportunity to be in a World Cup.“It’s really disappointing for her and disappointing for Japan.“Of course, we’ll support her in the right way, like we would do with any other player. And we look forward to her getting back, feeling good and feeling healthy.”With five wins out of five from their pre-season matches, there really is no telling how far Liverpool can go this season.
