Any team with Vivian Medeima, Khadija Shaw, Loren Hemp and Alex Greenwood will not be infinite.
The massive list of City’s injuries, including the main players, has had a huge impact on the campaign and questioned the lack of depth of the squad.
Gil Rord, Auba Fujin, Rebecca Knak, Laura Combs, Naomi Lezel and goalkeeper Ayka Yamashita have also lost a significant number of this season, as City are fourth in the world, seven points from Manchester United in the Champions League final.
They had only four outdoors on the bench in the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Chelsea, with the Blues a 2-0 draw with a deficit of their first leg, and ending the season with graduates of Academy Grassey Priro and Lily Merphy.
Interim manager Nick Kushing has acknowledged that the injury crisis “100% need to be tested” in the summer – but now does not help the club.
“With the large number of injured, they cannot be unfortunate and they cannot be all in bad things,” he said.
“We have to look at everything, we have to look at why we are in fourth place in the league, why we haven’t won a trophy and why we haven’t won the best players (through injuries,” he said.
“The revision process applies to everything. I think we need to compete in every competition until the end.
While City’s misfortune is clear, they could not act unlike their competitors.
When Sam Kerry, a Chelsea’s superpresser last year with a crusade of the Crusader (ACL), broke the record at the time and that Colombian striker Mayra Ramirez was brought to him.
WSL leaders then poured the cash in a record for defender Naomi Grma in January after losing Kadisha Bokani, and with ACL injuries.
Meanwhile, despite being a qualifier on the squad, City signed four players in January alone, including Aymo Oyama, a 20-year-old midfielder, and allowed Clo in Kelly to join Arsenal on loan.
“Some of the injured players joined any team at WSL,” said former City and England captain Steve Hogton on BBC2.
“If they take away the king, Medma and Greenwood, it is the backbone of the experienced players and they are also good quality players,” he said.
“You have a 20-year-old child in Grassey Prior who came through the academy and has played a lot of games recently. Should he be on the team?
“This is not for an individual level, but in the end we try to create a structure to go and win the cups.
“We have lost some key players. That’s the difference. Of course the force is not deep and that’s something we need to solve.
