Keira Walsh admitted that concerns about workload made her worried about injuries during every game, weeks before being stretchered off at the World Cup.
The Lionesses and Barcelona midfielder was stretchered off during England's group stage game against Denmark in Sydney on Friday, mouthing 'I've done my knee'.
There are raised fears that Walsh has become the latest star to join a long list of female football players to suffer an ACL problem - and the rising number of related injuries is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed by those in charge.
