England faces an anxious wait over Keira Walsh’s injury at the Women’s World Cup

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:15:35 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — The world’s most expensive female soccer player could be out of the Women’s World Cup. Keira Walsh’s knee injury in the Lionesses’ 1-0 win against Denmark on Friday leaves a hole in the heart of the midfield that may be impossible to fill. Walsh — considered the conductor during England’s European Championship triumph last year — had to leave the field in Sydney on a stretcher and later exited the stadium on crutches. What follows now for Walsh and England is an anxious wait to learn the severity of the damage. If the worst case-scenario is realized, the question will be how England copes without her for the rest of the tournament co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. At the Euros, “everything came through Keira. There wasn’t a Plan B,” England’s all-time leading scorer Ellen White said in her role as an analyst for the BBC. “I dreaded to think of the idea of us ever losing her because she was one of our best players.
