Skinner's team news update for Wolves
Manchester United Women boss Marc Skinner has provided an update on his plans ahead of the Abobe FA Cup tie with Wolves.
Speaking to journalists at a press conference, in advance of the clash at Telford's SEAH Stadium on Saturday, Skinner was hopeful Geyse and Dominique Janssen will be available for the 17:15 kick-off.
Geyse sadly suffered a family bereavement recently, while Janssen has had a scan on a foot injury.
"So Geyse is back in and been training the last couple of days again," said Skinner. "We're allowing her that personal space and I'm going to catch up with her today. She's properly training with the group and, considering she's had a bereavement, she's been fantastic and applied herself brilliantly.
"She could be in contention for the squad this weekend.

"On Dom, she trained yesterday with the group and I'm hoping she is available to be selected for the squad. She's been assessed this morning to see how she reacted to it, it was a knock on the foot, basically contact, but she had the scan with no issues.
"It's just if she can turn it around from the pain-wise to go into this game."
United beat West Brom 7-0 to reach the fifth round and, while Wolves may be underdogs, they will be backed by a bumper crowd and will provide a test for the holders.
"We're potentially still finalising little bits of the team after we've trained today," confirmed Skinner.
"I'm hoping Lisa [Naalsund] gets to train with the team a little bit, especially in the international window. She's ramping up her individual [work] before she comes into decision making and the high invasion chaos of training. I'm hoping she's not too far as, touch wood, she's not had any setbacks.
"Evie [Rabjohn] is now doing straight-line running on the field, which is fantastic. She's really progressing and is hitting along nicely."
