Toni Duggan has been ruled out for the season

MANCHESTER CITY and England striker Toni Duggan has been ruled out for the remainder of the WSL season.

 

The 24-year-old suffered an ankle injury against Liverpool in the Continental Cup and missed Sunday's win over Sunderland.

Confirmation of the extent of injury has rocked City, with Nick Cushing's side currently second in the table.

 

Four teams are still in the hunt for the title with Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Sunderland all eyeing the league trophy.

City trail leaders Chelsea by five points but have a game in hand with three games to play.
