Manchester United Women are scheduled to visit Charlton Athletic at The Valley on 18 October as the WSL resumes after the international break. United's official preview lists a 14:00 BST kickoff, equivalent to 20:00 in Vietnam. It will be the teams' first meeting since 2019.
Availability remains under observation
Andrea Medina left the Liverpool victory with an ankle problem but subsequently played twice for Spain. United describes that positively without confirming a starting place against Charlton. Lea Schüller withdrew from Germany duty through illness, while Jayde Riviere and Emma Watson had been sidelined before the break.
Celin Bizet Donnum is moving towards a return after maternity leave. The preview does not provide a final starting lineup. Charlton have confirmed injuries to Grace Johnston and Hawa Cissoko; other absences affected their 5-1 defeat at Brighton on 4 October.
The setting differs from the previous visit
Charlton secured promotion by beating Leicester on penalties in the previous season's promotion/relegation playoff. They lost their first five WSL games, although Manchester City were restricted to a 1-0 victory. Those completed results do not determine the United match.
The Valley is Charlton Women's main home. United Women's previous away meeting, a 2-1 victory in March 2019, took place at The Oakwood.
United plans team news before kickoff and match updates through its club channels. Sky Sports Mix coverage mentioned in the preview applies to the UK; it does not establish free viewing or equivalent service availability in Vietnam.
