Juventus manager Joe Montemurro makes honest Beth Mead claim amid Arsenal injury heartbreak

Beth Mead will come back from her ACL nightmare stronger according to former Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro.

The ex-Gunners boss managed Mead for four years before departing in the summer of 2021 and taking up the Juventus job. Arsenal face the Italian giants in a Champions League Group C clash at the Allianz Stadium on Thursday night, in a reunion with Montemurro who led them to the WSL title in the 2018-19 season.

Mead suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in a 3-2 WSL defeat against Manchester United last Saturday and will be out for what the club describe as 'an extended period'. This has thrown her participation at the 2023 FIFA World Cup into doubt.
