Sarina Wiegman cut an anxious but pragmatic figure after England’s 1-0 victory over Denmark was marred by a serious-looking injury to Keira Walsh. The 26-year-old Barcelona player, the linchpin of the Lionesses’ midfield, went down in the 35th minute under no contact and was taken off on a stretcher before returning to watch the second half on crutches.
“Of course I’m concerned because she couldn’t walk off the pitch,” Wiegman said. “But we don’t know yet, so we can’t make any assumptions. Let’s just wait until we have a diagnosis and then we can tell you.”
