Leah Williamson: England defender returns to Arsenal squad for WSL clash against Everton

The matchday squad for the Women's Super League clash with the Toffees will be announced on Friday.

He picked up an injury while on England duty.

In his pre-match news conference, the boss confirmed that defender Rafaelle Souza is going to make her return from injury against the Toffees, as well as the return of another player in the same position.

The two guys are able to return to the squad on Saturday.

It's good for us. We are getting players back from injury and we are increasing the number of people in the squad. We've been anticipating that.

He said that they were in the match day squad. Everyone knows the starting XI tomorrow.

Arsenal's injury crisis easing

The team has been ravaged by injuries in recent weeks with captain Kim Little and England star Beth Mead all set for significant spells on the sidelines.

The impact on the squad has been positive, despite the fact that the team suffered their first WSL defeat of the season against Manchester United.

He said that it helps the team because they get two more high quality players into their environment and their way of playing.

That will definitely boost any team and we will certainly benefit from it.

He said that when you see a player likeLeah coming into the environment, you can see what qualities she can bring on and off the ball.

It's the same with him. Two quality players.

With a game in hand, the Gunners are in second place in the WSL.

'Williamson motivated to help team'

The side is currently top of the Women's European League and will play a game against the Italians at the stadium next week.

She wants to help the team before she returns to action.

She wants to help the team and get things done on the pitch.

With all the players that have been injured, their motivation has been really strong, and they are working really hard to get back into the team again.

They are very happy to be on the field again.
