Khadija Shaw sat out Manchester City's midweek League Cup win, but she is back ahead of Sunday's FA Cup tie versus Leicester City.

Manchester City head coach Gareth Taylor has confirmed Khadija Shaw has returned to first-team training, having missed Thursday’s League Cup win over Arsenal due to receiving racist and misogynistic abuse.

Online abuse was directed at Shaw following City's 4-3 defeat to Arsenal last Sunday in the Women’s Super League, with the club reporting it to the Greater Manchester Police.

The police have said that their "investigations are ongoing".

Taylor revealed in Friday’s press conference that Shaw had returned to training and that he had spoken to the player, ahead of Sunday's meeting with Leicester City in the FA Cup.

He condemned the “unacceptable abuse” she received and reiterated the support she had from everyone connected to the club.

He said: "Bunny's back with us today. She's okay and trained with the team, which is good, so that's it. I've spoken to her. Respectfully, I'm not going to share that.

"I don't think we want to give any more airtime to this really bad issue she's had to suffer with. There's no place for it in any walk of life.

"It's not acceptable; never will be and never should be. We'll support Bunny in the right way, whatever that support looks like."

It is still unclear what role Shaw, who has scored 86 goals for the club, will play in City's fifth-round tie against the Foxes.
