'We're concerned about her, she's not someone that stays down,' he said. 'It was a late tackle and we're going to have to do everything possible to get her fit for the quarter-final. She's a big player for us, our captain. 'Her and Lucy Bronze were outstanding tonight - your big players stand up on the big occasions. I thought the composure of those two spread through the team.
