Women's World Cup 2023 - Australia/New Zealand

Keira Walsh injury "not ACL".

 

Good news. 

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66347697

 

England midfielder Keira Walsh did not suffer an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Denmark in the Women's World Cup.

Walsh, 26, was taken off the pitch on a stretcher in England's 1-0 victory, prompting concerns she could miss the remainder of the tournament.

But a scan has allayed fears of an ACL injury for the Barcelona player, who is a key figure for England.

She will however miss Tuesday's final group game against China in Adelaide.

The Football Association said Walsh will remain at England's base camp near Terrigal beach during her recovery and her knee issue will "continue to be assessed".

Walsh, who moved to Barcelona last summer for a women's world record transfer fee, played a crucial role in England's Euro 2022 title win, appearing in all but four minutes of their campaign.

The Lionesses are already without captain Leah Williamson and forward Beth Mead due to ACL injuries they suffered during the Women's Super League season, while attacking midfielder Fran Kirby is also sidelined with a knee problem.

England can secure their place in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup on Tuesday and will progress as Group D winners if they avoid defeat by China.

Shame for CJ/New Zealand, a draw against Switzerland & win against Norway in their (on paper) much tougher games and a loss to Philippines, not quite enough.

 

2 clean sheets though so at least that’s positive for Bott.

Pretty unlucky then but you have to turn up in all 3 games I guess to make sure of getting through.

 

Will there still be strong interest from the locals now NZ are out?

Group games are so spotty in the WWC, but I'm glad I watched Colombia beat Germany.  Just a classic match.

 

Colombia are now my second team.

 

(for entirely different reasons than in the men's WC)

Slightly off topic but had a look at the Olympic qualifying set up because it’s normally the World Cup that’s used to determine the European teams but that’s changed now (Nations League finals), shame because with France as hosts & the other top European sides on for tougher knockout games now we’d have been a shoe in
