England have been handed a boost ahead of this summer's World Cup with footage suggesting Lucy Bronze escaped serious injury in Barcelona's UWCL semi-final first leg against Chelsea.
Bronze went down in the second half of the first leg at Stamford Bridge, clutching her right knee and receiving treatment from the Barca physios. The Lionesses' full-back wasn't even able to walk down the tunnel, instead hobbling towards the dressing room in obvious discomfort.
Only days after the news on Leah Williamson's ACL, everyone connected with England had the same initial worries. Even the cool and calm head of Sarina Wiegman, watching on, will have been concerned at the prospect of losing yet another defender. But Bronze later reappeared before full-time to watch the remainder of the game from the bench and was seen smiling and laughing with teammates.
