Albion start their Adobe Women's FA Cup campaign at home to WSL2 side Nottingham Forest on Sunday, kick-off 1pm.

Darios Vidosic’s thoughts

“We are back at home this weekend. It is the magic of the FA Cup and we are really looking forward to the game.

“There is a trophy to play for, a very prestigious one, and the final game is at Wembley. It is exciting for the players, club, fans and me as a coach. We are looking forward to getting our campaign underway, but Nottingham Forest are a tough opponent.”

Team news

Vidosic said, “Jelena (Cankovic) is back, she has been training well and has a good chance to feature. Bex (Rayner) is not too far away either, she is starting to join in with training after a long stint on the sidelines.”

Olaug Tvedten's integration in the squad

“Olaug is a very technical player who knows how to find the back of the net. We are trying to introduce her slowly as it has been a little while since Olaug's last game. She is starting to integrate, getting to know the girls and is improving every day. The fans should be excited about her.”
