Georgia Stanway could be set for a race against time to make the Lionesses Euro 2025 squad after undergoing surgery on her knee.
The England midfielder has ruptured her LCL in training and is expected to face an extended period on the sidelines, Bayern Munich confirmed on Thursday.
Although not typically severe as the dreaded ACL injury, the timeframe for LCL recovery can be between three and nine months.
With the Euros kicking off in Switzerland in less than six months, Sarina Wiegman will be sweating on the fitness on one of her most influential players.
This news comes only a month after Stanway’s England teammate Alex Greenwood also suffered the same injury while playing in a Champions League game for Manchester City.
Stanway has made 75 senior international appearances after being handed her debut by then England boss Phil Neville.
