Can we sign another replacement?

AI says yes.

FIFA Regulations: As of January 1, 2021, FIFA regulations allow clubs to temporarily register a player outside of the normal registration windows to replace a player on maternity leave.

Can Rebecca Lake play as full back? Think she is a free agent
Mum Betsy Hassett another who might be as available, if Priestman wants more a midfielder

You would think that Bott may well have informed Priestman of her pregnancy a while ago, So Priestman would have had a while to think about / plan for this. Maybe??
Could also explain Botts absence of late. As the knee knock didn't seem all that serious at the time. Over a month ago now.
All this is random speculation of course.
Pre match interview with Priestman today may reveal a bit more. And something about Jabers status as well hopefully.
