England star Mead wants more action on ACL injuries in women’s football

LONDON: Beth Mead hopes the anterior cruciate ligament damage she and her partner Vivianne Miedema have both suffered can prompt a fresh look at why this particular knee injury appears to be so prevalent in women’s football.

Mead top-scored for the England women’s team in their triumphant European Championship campaign earlier this year.

She faces a race against time to be fit for next year’s World Cup after suffering an ACL injury playing for Arsenal against Manchester United last month.
