Leicester forward Hannah Cain says she didn't think she would return to football after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament.

Cain sustained a hamstring injury while recovering from the ACL injury, leaving her sidelined for over a year.

"You don't think it will get any worse and then it does," she told BBC Radio Leicester.

The 23-year-old made her first start since recovery in Saturday's Women's Super League triumph over Brighton.
