O'Brien return a 'big boost' for Foxes
Amandine Miquel says the return of forward Shannon O'Brien in Leicester's 2-1 win over Liverpool was a "big boost" for the remainder of the campaign.
O'Brien made her first start of the WSL season against the Reds having initially been eased back to into action with appearances from the bench following knee surgery last year.
"We are getting players back. Shannon couldn't start the last time and now she can," said Foxes boss Miquel
"It's not a secret that the more options we have the better it is to rotate because at some point when you only have 15 players available you get tired.
"It's a big boost the fact that Shannon played a few more minutes today. Hopefully now we are going to have a few more options if we don't get any more injuries."
Miquel was pleased Leicester had something to show for their endeavour against Liverpool after being on the wrong end of a narrow defeat to Spurs last time out.
"It was important because we felt like we deserved something from last week's performance," added the 40-year-old Frenchwoman.
"Sometimes you play well and don't get anything. So for us it was important.
"We told each other to play well but also to get something because at the end of the season if we play well and get no points it isn't working.
"We are trying to keep both. Playing well and getting results."
