City said on Tuesday they were "appalled" at the "disgusting treatment" of Shaw following Sunday's WSL game against Arsenal.

Star striker Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw was not included in Manchester City's squad to face Arsenal in the semi-final of the Subway Women's League Cup on Thursday. The Cityzens were able to get the job done in north London thanks to a last minute winner from Mary Fowler which closed the game out at 2-1.

It is still unclear what role Shaw, who has scored 86 goals for the club, will play in City's fifth-round tie against the Foxes
