Chloe Kelly has revealed how she fought back from her ACL injury to score the winner in last summer's European Championship final.
Kelly became a super-sub for the Lionesses when she scored a historic winner to beat Germany 2-1 in the final at Wembley last summer. Incredibly, she had only made the tournament after winning her race against a career-threatening anterior cruciate ligament injury.
ACL injuries have sadly become a regular feature in the women's game in recent seasons with Alexia Putellas, Beth Mead, Vivianne Miedema and Marie-Antoinette Katoto just a few of those to have suffered with them this year. Kelly was the fourth highest scorer in the WSL at the end of the 2020-21 season, when she sustained the injury in an end of season game with Birmingham and caused her to miss 11 months of action.
