Hope she makes a full recovery. It’s a disaster. We have let Blackstad and Castellanos go too. We are very light on numbers.

Absolutely gutted for her and a huge blow for us. A truly A1 player who will be impossible to replace.

Another ACL , rife amongst women players

Huge blow for us. Wish her the best in her recovery.

A disaster - will be about 6 months out. Jill has the uniquely extra quality that compliments others, I am gutted for her. I know it was perhaps an accident but the way Zelem and Parris were diving into tackles it was clear they targeted our best players - gits.

It would be a risk to just go with Coombs and Angeldhal alongside Yui for the full second half of the season. We are now one injury away from having to cobble together a midfield. This could possibly derail our chances of winning the league or qualifying for the CL. Will be interesting if Nielsen reacts with a replacement, if we are to mount a serious challenge we need to buy someone pronto.

Above all I hope Jill recovers well for next year and beyond.

Devastated. Surely we’ve got to get a replacement in because we’re light as it is and Roord is so important to our game.

Interesting Kaz , there is a study looking at why more women than men statistically have this issue. One thought was that hip width might be an issue I think anyway there are some studies happening.

Good to know it is being looked into but doubt anything can be done , unfortunately

I'm not surprised, I immediately thought that when she got injured the other night, her stoods caught in the turf, and her leg twisted badly as she went down. Hope she gets her full fitness back as quickly as possible.
