Summer signing Rachel Williams will miss Manchester United Women's opening WSL game against previous club Tottenham on Saturday due to a knee injury.
Manager Marc Skinner said the issue was sustained in training and that the attacker will be sidelined for a number of weeks. “She went into a full-blooded tackle, as she does, and just hyper-extended her knee," he told in-house media. "Nothing too serious, she just needs a rest period.
“You’re probably looking at about three or four weeks and then she’ll be ready. There’s no permanent damage, it’s just as Rachel Williams does, it’s the whole reason we signed her as well.
