Jeglertz will want to be at full strength for the encounter, and could be boosted by a number of injury returnees.
“All three of them were in the session today,” the City boss answered on Charles, Mead and Miedema. “And I hope they will be available for Saturday.
“It looks good today. We had a day off yesterday and today everybody is back.A good session, full of energy. I feel we are in a good place.”
There were also doubts on the availability of Rebecca Knaak, following a head collision in midweek. However, she will also be ready for the trip to Chelsea. Jeglertz confirmed: “She was back in full training. No concern about that.”

Jeglertz continued: “We talk about resting players but we also talk about other players getting the opportunity to show they want to compete.
“And how important the depth is in the squad and the ones that played on Tuesday were just showing that we have an amazing squad.
“Good players no matter who I start I can definitely have players coming in and changing the game. That was so crucial for us.”
