Georgia Stanway of England sidelined for several months due to knee ligament injury

England’s midfielder Georgia Stanway is set to be out of action for “several months” following an injury to her right knee ligaments sustained during training earlier this week.

The player, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, underwent surgery on Wednesday to address a tear in her lateral collateral ligament, as confirmed by the German club.

This injury represents a significant setback for England’s preparations as they gear up for the Women’s European Championship scheduled for this July.

While Bayern Munich has not specified a recovery timeline for the 26-year-old Stanway, her status raises concerns regarding her availability for the tournament in Switzerland, where England will look to defend the title they secured in 2022.

As the team prepares, Stanway’s absence will likely have a considerable impact on the squad’s dynamics and overall performance in the upcoming championship. This situation calls for strategic adjustments by the coaching staff to adequately fill the gap left by Stanway’s absence.
