Lucy Bronze: A defender for Barcelona and England had knee surgery

Posted : 26 April 2023
England defender Lucy Bronze will miss 'a couple of weeks' after undergoing knee surgery and has been ruled out of Barcelona's Champions League semi-final return leg on Thursday.

The full-back went down clutching her knee in the 65th minute of Barca's first leg meeting with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, receiving medical attention on the pitch.

Concerns were heightened when, as she went to walk off, her knee gave way.

Barcelona, who won the first leg 1-0 thanks to a Caroline Graham Hansen goal, only need to avoid defeat at the Nou Camp to reach the final for a second consecutive year.

At a news conference on Wednesday morning, Barca head coach Jonatan Giraldez offered his thoughts on the predicament of Bronze.:

"She has lots of experience, the feelings are good with her knee. She has a strain, an ailment. It's a tiny intervention, just a couple of weeks”.

With less than three months before the start of the World Cup, England manager Sarina Wiegman's injury concerns are only getting worse. Beth Mead and Leah Williamson have already been ruled out of the competition, while Millie Bright is presently out with a knee injury.
