Lois Joel, Charlotte Wardlaw and Emily Gregory are among the United players who have linked up with their national teams for the next week, leaving Becky Langley with a slightly smaller group to work with on the training pitch since that 2-1 home defeat as they bid to plot a strong finish to the campaign - starting with a clash with Blackburn Rovers at Kingston Park on Sunday, 13th April.
