City said on Tuesday they were "appalled" at the "disgusting treatment" of Shaw following Sunday's WSL game against Arsenal.

Star striker Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw was not included in Manchester City's squad to face Arsenal in the semi-final of the Subway Women's League Cup on Thursday. The Cityzens were able to get the job done in north London thanks to a last minute winner from Mary Fowler which closed the game out at 2-1.

Khadija Shaw made her return to action for Manchester City, scoring their third goal in a 3-1 win against Leicester, after she sat out their midweek League Cup semi-final against Arsenal to protect her mental wellbeing after racist and misogynistic abuse received online.
