Leicester City Women Begin Preseason with Redemption in Mind
Leicester City Women have started their preseason training, focusing on rebuilding for the WSL 2 season after a dramatic descent last season. The team gathered at Belvoir Drive for intense physical evaluations, including detection tests, balance assessments, and conditioning exercises.
Alisha Lehmann's Return is Crucial
Alisha Lehmann, a 27-year-old forward, has expressed her excitement on social media, stating "We're back." Her presence is vital, as she remains one of the team's most outstanding and creative players. Lehmann has spoken candidly about the difficulties she faced in her first six months, marked by injuries and the team's poor performance.
New Faces and Returning Stars
The concentration also served as an opportunity for Leah Eddie, the new signing from Rangers, to integrate with her teammates. Eddie participated in all sessions to earn a spot in the starting lineup for the new season. Emilia Pelgander and Simone Sherwood, key players in the team's fight for promotion, have also returned.
Preseason Plan Takes Shape
The Leicester City Women's preseason plan is gaining momentum gradually. The team will first focus on two weeks of physical work and speed training, followed by several closed-door friendlies. These matches will incorporate new signings and solidify the team's tactical approach before the start of the league season.
What Comes Next?
Leicester City Women will continue to work tirelessly to regain their form and climb the WSL 2 table. With Alisha Lehmann leading the charge, the team is determined to make a strong comeback and prove their worth in the upcoming season.
