Lionesses legend Fara Williams details England concerns in World Cup prediction

England legend Fara Williams believes the Lionesses' recent injury crisis could harm their chances of winning the upcoming Women's World Cup.

Sarina Wiegman's side flew out to Australia on Wednesday and will get their World Cup campaign underway against Haiti in Brisbane on July 22. However, when they take to the field at Suncorp Stadium, they will be without three key players in captain Leah Williamson, forward Beth Mead and midfielder Fran Kirby.

Williamson and Mead are both continuing their rehabilitation from anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] injuries while Kirby has been struggling with a knee problem since February, and Williams believes the trio's absence could prove detrimental to England's hopes of going all the way at this summer's tournament.
