Beth Mead says she will take the positives from her long-injury lay off as she continues to work her way back to full fitness from a season-threatening ACL injury.
The Arsenal forward faces an uphill battle to be fit for the Women's World Cup in July after suffering the blow during a 3-2 defeat to Man Utd in the WSL last November. Mead has also had to deal with an incredibly difficult period off-the-pitch, her mother June passing away from ovarian cancer in January.
Mead was England's Player of the Tournament at Euro 2022 as the Lionesses won a first major trophy last summer. England manager Sarina Wiegman recently said the door was not closed on Mead making a possible return for the World Cup and said it was "too early" to start planning without the Arsenal star.
