"England international Ella Toone is likely to miss the Women's League Cup final in March because of a hip injury, Manchester United boss Marc Skinner has confirmed. Earlier this month Skinner gave Toone a timeline of about six weeks to return - at that time there were still slim hopes she might return to the squad in time for the final, but that now looks extremely unlikely."
"Asked if she was a doubt for the final against Chelsea on 15 March, Skinner said: "Potentially, yes. It probably comes a bit too soon. "I would imagine we're aiming for around the Manchester City game [on 29 March]. Hopefully we can welcome her back then." United face London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League this Sunday (12:00 GMT) and will be without several players because of injury."
Ella Toone is likely to miss the Women's League Cup final on 15 March because of a hip injury. Marc Skinner earlier gave Toone a six-week timeline to return, but recovery now looks extremely unlikely for the final. Toone, 26, last played in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Tottenham in December and has not featured for Manchester United in 2026. She missed the Champions League play-off first-leg win over Atletico Madrid and the cup semi-final victory over Arsenal. Skinner is aiming for a return around the Manchester City game on 29 March. United will also be without several other injured players in upcoming matches, with Fridolina Rolfo, Anna Sandberg and Leah Galton among those affected.
