Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor said Manchester City will get an “enhanced version” of Vivianne Miedema when she returns from her latest injury setback.The 28-year-old forward has not played since 9 October and has since had surgery on her left knee.”It was a really minor procedure,” Taylor said. “A slight niggle Viv had that we felt might have gone away. But after discussions with the surgeons they decided to do a small procedure and I think it’s really going to help Viv.”She has made a huge contribution and I don’t see that contribution changing although it might not be on the pitch. She’s been fabulous with the young players and the girls in general. The impact she has had so far on the pitch has been top, particularly when we have slightly adapted her position.”She has added real value to us. After getting herself right with this surgery and getting herself really fit and really strong, we are going to have an enhanced version. She only has to look at Jill Roord to see that.”Miedema made her comeback from 11 months out with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in October 2023.Since joining City in the summer, she has scored twice in five games in all competitions.”We don’t put a timescale on it at all,” Taylor said when asked how long Miedema is likely to be sidelined. “I’m pretty certain it was keyhole surgery so it won’t keep her out for a particularly long period but you never know in these situations what the time back to pitch looks like.”She said she feels ready to run which is maybe slightly ambitious on her front but that is her in a nutshell. She wants to be back out with us, she is really enjoying her football with us and I think we get an improved version when she comes back.”Sandi Toksvig is joined by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi and Alan DaviesGrab the mic for Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry and more…Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are back for the festivities at Longleat Safari ParkFrom micro plastics in our air, soil, and waterways, to the extent of food waste at this time of year© 2024 BBC.
