Rofiat Imuran returned from injury with a late appearance in London City Lionesses’ 5-1 win over Leicester City, marking her comeback after missing 10 matches.

In France, Moses Simon returned from injury and played 69 minutes in Nantes’ 1-0 loss to Lille, ending their unbeaten run. Chidozie Awaziem was absent as Nantes slipped further into relegation danger after a poor run of form.
