An injury setback has ruled England captain Leah Williamson out of Arsenal’s huge Women’s Super League clash with Manchester United on Saturday.
Williamson recently returned from nine months out after rupturing her ACL, making her comeback in a cup fixture with Reading in January. However, despite starting for Arsenal in their FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, she wasn’t fit for the massive meeting with Man Utd on Saturday, ruled out because of a hamstring problem.
Speaking to Sky Sports before the game, Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall said of Williamson: “[It’s a] minor injury, really unfortunate, but it keeps her away from this fixture here.”
Williamson has been recalled to the England squad for February’s friendlies with Austria and Italy, so she’ll hope the minor injury doesn’t prevent her from travelling with the Lionesses to that camp in Spain next week.
