Everton defender Gabby George is set to miss the rest of the campaign with a hamstring injury.
The 26-year-old has been one of the Blues' most consistent performers this season, and was named the Women's Super League [WSL] Player of the Month in January. However, George has been sidelined for Everton's last two games after picking up an injury in training.
And the club has now confirmed the defender won't feature again for Brian Sorensen's side this term and has already started her rehabilitation. In a statement on Thursday, Everton revealed George will not have to undergo surgery and is expected to be available for the start of pre-season training in July.
