England captain Leah Williamson has said her “World Cup dream is over” after suffering a ruptured ACL in Arsenal’s defeat at Man Utd on Wednesday.
Williamson was taken off after collapsing to the ground only 12 minutes into Arsenal’s 1-0 loss at Leigh Sports Village, with her knee appearing to be the source of her discomfort.
Anton Toloui and James Savundra provide an update on Leah Williamson’s injury and how her absence will impact the Lionesses and Arsenal.

Get well , we hope she will come back sooner.
Unreal. My heart does put to her. It’s such a long rehab and even there getting back into regular play.
Lads, I made a seriously good Lasagna today
It’s an almighty blow. The game can’t go on like this with a knee injury epidemic and the lack of resources to find out why. My theory is it’s a mixture of the football boots, pitches, fixture schedule and the lack of squad rotation.
They need to look at changing the ball size in women’s football to a size3 to stop these types of injuries the women’s body is too small for a size 5
Millie Bright will be out for a few more weeks as I understand it.
Players should refuse to play on under-prepared and substandard surfaces to protect their careers. The Women need even better playing conditions than men to protect their bodies given the high number of serious injuries in the game.
Steph Houghton must be recalled to patch up England's defence; cant take a penalty though.
Absolutely gutted for her
This really sucks. Really hurts WC when top players can’t be there. Don’t think Argentina would have won men’s if France had benzema and company
Devastating 🥺
Why are these women suffering ACL injuries?
She should go to the world cup, even if injured, to help support the team.
WOMENS FBALL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who cares anout women football
They not onown except to somemeurop countries…
I think maya le tissier would be good for us at the World Cup give her some more game time
Stephen Houghton returns…
What an extraordinary person – her statement is so measured, reflective, self and globally aware. Many others in the public eye could learn from her. Wishing her all the best to come back stronger and football to invest in some serious research into ACL injuries the women's game.
She will retire soon just like Marco Van Basten did after a long-term ankle injury.
This is a shame, but what we have seen from the lionesses is that they have grit and heart.
Best wishes Leah
Leah estamos contigo ❤❤
I'm even more in ❤ with her than ever now. What a wonderful lady she is, and we're all bitterly disappointed for her… as for the team's World Cup hopes, they don't look great: I'd say LW is as close to irreplaceable as any England player has ever been 😭😭
Get well soon 🙏
Godspeed Leah, we will miss you at the world cup very much
No more than USA losing Mal Swanson.
I’m sorry about her injury, but the sports media, even the team management have given her an exaggerated an a false sense of her true abilities, throughout last year or so. She should’ve told the coach, “Thank you, I’m flattered, but not deserving of the captainship, not yet. I’m too young and don’t have the experience Lucy Bronze, Rachel Daly or Millie Bright have. Maybe in the future.” She’s good but not that indispensably good. She’s a little above average fast but not nearly as fast as most offensive players in the league or the world. In an even race with a forward she’s always left behind. The loss against Chelsea was her fault, Kerr’s speed made her panic into a bad decision. She’s an excellent passer, granted she’s got time and space. Her chill personality is just like her feet. Now maybe the captain’s band can be placed around Lucy’s arm! The whole country would LOVE to see that!
I been in football a long time. I saw this coming. Because the Lionesses are a successful team, the opposition are going to raise their game against them. The intensity is going to up a notch in every game. The players I felt were burnt out. Naturally Something had to give. The game against a very physical Australia team after a equally physical Brazil team in the Finalissima was always going to be a step too far. I hope they learn from this and protect the players a bit more.
Praying for that miracle.
No one is talking about the elephant in the room..I read an article talking about men's football boots being the culprit not so..there are now studies proving that women at various stages of their cycle ate more likely to suffer foot and leg injuries and healing slower and get it constantly due to female hormones.i am not an athlete and know as I get older my knee cap will pop sideways at certain time in my cycle..hello pesky hormones..tbese are female hormone provoked injuries studies are o going and proving this….
