Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall calls for solutions to address the growing amount of ACL issues in the women's game following Leah Williamson's season-ending injury... as research finds they are more likely to rupture the ligament than men

Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall says football clubs and governing bodies must work together to address the increasing problem of ACL injuries in women’s football.

England captain Leah Williamson became the third Gunners player to suffer the knee injury this season and will subsequently miss this summer’s World Cup.

Research has estimated that women are between two to eight times more likely to rupture their anterior cruciate ligament than male players.

Eidevall reiterated the need for solutions and insisted Arsenal also have to look at what they can do to lessen the risks.
