Aston Villa Women can confirm Anna Leat will serve a one-game suspension following her dismissal against Chelsea last week.
The New Zealand goalkeeper saw red in the early stages of the 3-0 defeat at Kingsmeadow for denying a goal/goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball outside the penalty area.
Therefore, the 22-year-old will be unavailable for Sunday’s Barclays WSL clash with West Ham United at Villa Park but will be available for the forthcoming trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Rachel Corsie will also carry out a one-game ban this weekend after picking up her fifth yellow card of the season.
