Martin Ho confirmed that Molly Bartrip, Olga Ahtinen and Lenna Gunning-Williams were all left out of Saturday’s friendly against Arsenal with ‘knocks’.

We edged Arsenal in a seven-goal thriller at Meadow Park as Bethany England bagged brace, while Matilda Vinberg and Eveliina Summanen were also on target to earn us a 4-3 win over our north London rivals – Victoria Pelova, an own-goal and Caitlin Foord on the scoresheet for the hosts.

Martin made three changes to his starting XI for the clash while also welcomed the return of Kit Graham to the matchday squad for the first time in 12 months as she stepped off the bench as a second half substitute, but there were three notable absentees from last time out against Sevilla.

Molly, Olga and Lenna were all unavailable for the clash in Borehamwood and our Head Coach provided an update after the game.

“Molly missed out with a knock from the last game we had, Olga the same, and Lenna as well with a short knock”, he told us, when speaking to SPURSPLAY.

“We’ll review and assess them going into next week, and hopefully they’ll be available for the next game against Southampton.”
