Arsenal have been dealt a blow before the start of the new Women’s Super League season with Leah Williamson ruled out for several weeks after a procedure on a knee injury sustained in last month’s Euro 2025 final.
The 28-year-old reported back to Arsenal with swelling on her right knee having led her country to a second successive European Championship triumph in Switzerland. After the swelling had come down, tests revealed surgery was required to clear out the joint. Williamson was seen on crutches at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground. The club had feared the defender could be out for months – thankfully for them that has not proved to be the case.
Williamson ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee in April 2023, leading to her miss the last World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and being out of action for nine months, though the two injuries are not directly linked.
