There is a chance CFCW could see its current loanee Alsu Abdullina compete against for Paris due to there being no clause in the contract. The Russian did start at the weekend, meaning her presence may only be felt as a substitute.

While the west Londoners are not so familiar with the recent Paris FC, they do know a thing or two when it comes to collecting a result at home against a team from the French capital. Frankly, last season, magic was not in short supply in the SW6 when it came to Champions League games. Toward the tail end of 2023, that theme has carried into WSL fixtures. Liverpool knows all about it. Why not keep the train rolling?
