Possible replacements for injured Beth Mead ahead of Arsenal's crunch European tie with Juventus

Beth Mead is set for a prolonged period on the sidelines after it was revealed she will require surgery for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

This means the Arsenal and England star may miss the majority of the rest of the 2022-23 season, and is a serious doubt for the Lionesses 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup squad, ahead of the tournament starting in mind-July. With the Gunners chasing trophies both domestically and in Europe it is a huge blow to Jonas Eidevall and the team.

Gooners will be hopeful of seeing Mead back on the pitch before the end of the season but for such a big injury it looks a big ask to see Mead playing a big part in the WSL title race this season. In the short-term she will definitely miss out on Thursday evening's clash with Juventus in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
