Leeds United Women get their 2026 underway with a midweek away clash against Chorley Women on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Whites are back in FA WNL Division One North action at the Jim Fowler Memorial Ground and will be hoping to kick off the year with a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re all really excited for the game on Thursday,\u201d midfielder Ellie White said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a very slow start to 2026, so I think everyone’s buzzing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe camp’s buzzing. Everyone’s just really excited to get going, and there’s nothing better than a midweek match under the lights. It’ll be nice to get 2026 up and running.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been training hard and keeping that momentum going, so we just want to get back into league action now because it’s been quite a while since we’ve had any league games. <\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully we can start 2026 with a bang and get back up to speed and get those points on the board because I think three points is huge and every game is massive now. – we just want to get those points and hopefully we do come back with a positive result.\u201d<\/p>\n
On starting the year with a win: \u201cIt’s massively important to start strong. It’s going to be a very, very tough game. Chorley are well-drilled and we know how difficult it is to play against them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know how hard we’ve been working in training and having players back from injury, the squad’s only getting stronger, so it’s a positive place to be in right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United Women get their 2026 underway with a midweek away clash against Chorley Women on Thursday.
