Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp are back! Lionesses given massive boost ahead of Women's Euro 2025 as Man City pair return from injury spells

City captain Greenwood and forward Hemp came off the bench in their side's 1-0 win at Leicester City on Sunday in the Women's Super League, with the latter setting up Jess Park's decisive goal. After months out with respective knee injuries, the pair managed to come through this encounter unscathed.

City have badly missed the talismanic duo in recent months but now they are back this is a relief for the WSL side and a big boost for England as they prepare for this summer's European Championships.

Greenwood, 31, was stretchered off in City's Champions League victory over St Polten in December and underwent surgery on her medial collateral ligament (MCL) as a result. While Hemp, 24, underwent knee surgery in November and is only back playing this week.

Greenwood and Hemp will hope to feature again when City take on rivals Manchester United in the WSL next Sunday.
