Albion women's Sussex Challenge Cup tie against Eastbourne Town has been rescheduled for this Sunday.The match last week had to be abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch at Worthing, with the Seagulls leading 6-0 after 40 minutes.John Donoghue
Head coach John Donoghue is counting on his players to maintain their professionalism and focus, despite their commanding performance in the previous match.
He told seagulls.co.uk, "From our perspective, we need to keep our mental strength and prepare thoroughly like we would for any other game.
"We will approach the game in a professional manner and I'm sure the players will be very fired up for it."
Albion were due to travel to Tottenham in a Premier League Cup match, but the game has now been rescheduled for the 6th December.
Donoghue is expected to name a similar squad for the match, but he still has a number of injury doubts.
Cherelle Khassal is back to full training, but is unlikely to be considered due to a hip complain while Lily Agg will also be assessed after picking up a hamstring injury earlier in the week.
Charlotte Owen is being monitored after suffering from achilles tendinitis but Sophie Perry is unavailable for the match after being called up on international duty for the Republic of Ireland.
However there are a number of players gradually returning to action, including Charley Boswell, who played 60 minutes for the reserves against Charlton last week after recovering from an ankle injury.***
Lucy Somes is another player completing her comeback, as she managed 30 minutes for the reserves after four weeks out with a knee injury.
Next three fixtures:
27th October- Eastbourne Town (A) - Sussex Women's Challenge Cup
3rd November- Portsmouth (A) - Women's Premier League Southern Division
10th November- Gillingham (H) - Women's Premier League Cup
