WSL: Hemp and Greenwood returns lift Manchester City, Crystal Palace go down
England duo return from injuries in 1-0 win at LeicesterPalace relegated after 7-1 defeat at home to West Ham
There was a major boost for England and Manchester City as Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood both returned to action for the first time in 2025 following serious knee injuries in City’s 1-0 Women’s Super League win at Leicester.
With both players coming on as second-half substitutes, winger Hemp quickly provided an assist to set up Jess Park’s winning goal with 20 minutes remaining. Hemp had been sidelined since November, while Greenwood had been ruled out since December; both will hope to go to Switzerland in July for the Euros.
