Arsenal Women have been dealt another major injury blow after defender Laura Wienroither ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the Gunners' Champions League semi-final clash with Wolfsburg.
Wienroither was substituted after going down off the ball in Monday's narrow second-leg defeat to the German giants at the Emirates Stadium. And Arsenal have now confirmed the Austria international has ruptured her ACL and will need to undergo surgery.
"Laura was substituted in the 82nd minute of our UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final and has subsequently undergone testing to determine the extent of the injury," a club statement read on Thursday.
