Vivianne Miedema Expected to Return in January

Manchester City forward Vivianne Miedema is expected to return to action in January after undergoing knee surgery, having last played on October 9. Coach Gareth Taylor confirmed that while she is back in training, Miedema will miss the next three games before the Women's Super League winter break. Her absence has been felt, as she scored two goals in five appearances this season before her injury. Additionally, winger Chloe Kelly is recovering from a concussion and is uncertain for the upcoming Women's Champions League match against St. Polten. City has already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League and is on a strong performance streak, winning nine of their last ten matches. Taylor emphasizes the importance of taking the remaining games one at a time as they aim for top spot in their group.
