Khadija Shaw withdrew from Manchester City’s League Cup semi-final against Arsenal on Thursday night to protect her mental wellbeing having been subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse following the WSL tie between the sides on Sunday.

Shaw made her 100th appearance for City when she came on 66 minutes into the 4-3 loss to Arsenal at the Joie stadium.
