Manchester United Women's Ella Toone is ready to perform again after a hip injury setback. Toone missed four months of the season with a hip injury but returned for the final three games of the Women's Super League season. She took part in the Women's World Sevens tournament last week as United finished runners-up to Chelsea.

What happened?

Toone learned a massive lesson from her recent injury and is now focused on her recovery. She said she has to look after her body much better than she has been doing in previous years. The 26-year-old midfielder missed Women's World Cup qualifying matches in March and April.

Why it matters for Manchester United Women

Toone's return to action is important for Manchester United Women, who are currently 4th in FA WSL, 40 pts, 11W-7D-4L from 22 games. The team has scored 38 goals this season and conceded 22, with a goal difference of +16. They are 15 points behind leaders Manchester City W.

What comes next?

Toone is available for England's game against Spain on Friday in Mallorca. She is eager to prove herself to manager Sarina Wiegman again this week. Toone said she has enjoyed watching her teammates thrive, but she is worried about being selected for the next camp.
