England International Keira Walsh has escaped an anterior cruciate ligament tear against Denmark in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, with the England FA confirming it is not a serious injury.
The English FA released a statement saying, “We can confirm Keira Walsh has not suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.” The midfielder was substituted during Friday’s 1-0 win against Denmark.
“Walsh has been ruled out of Tuesday’s final Group D match against China PR in Adelaide and will remain at England’s Terrigal base to continue her recovery.
“Her knee injury will continue to be assessed by England medical staff, and no further update will be provided at this stage.”
In the first half, Walsh hit her leg on the pitch under no challenge from the Danish female team in the 35th minute of the match.
After the medical staff rushed in to attend to the injured leg, Walsh was seen telling the medical staff that “I am done with my legs.”
Even though the injury is nothing serious, she is unlikely to compete in the remaining campaign of the World Cup. However, evading the cruciate ligament tear is a blessing for the three Lionesses.
