Leah Williamson Ruled Out of Champions League Match Against Hacken Due to Concussion

Leah Williamson Ruled Out of Champions League Clash Against Hacken

In a significant blow for Arsenal Women's team, Leah Williamson has been ruled out of the second leg of their Champions League second-round tie against Hacken due to concussion protocol. This comes after Williamson also missed the Gunners' opening match in the Women's Super League (WSL) against Manchester City, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Defensive Adjustments Ahead

With Williamson sidelined, Arsenal will need to make strategic adjustments in their defense. Lotte Wubben-Moy, who is also an England national teammate, along with Laia Codina, a World Cup winner with Spain, are set to step up in the backline. Their contribution will be crucial as Arsenal aims to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg against Hacken.

Absentees from Training

Adding to their challenges, Victoria Pelova and Steph Catley were also absent from training on Wednesday. The inability to have these key players available could add more pressure on the existing squad as they prepare for this critical match.

What Lies Ahead for Arsenal?

As Arsenal gears up for the second leg, the team will have to rely on their depth and experience. The stakes are high, and their performance will determine if they can advance further in the Champions League.
