Chelsea's Sophie Ingle suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a pre-season match against Feyenoord, requiring surgery and rehabilitation, highlighting the increasing concern over ACL injuries in women's sports.
The rise in ACL injuries has prompted Uefa to establish a women's health expert panel, aiming to address the surge in cases like those of Ingle, Sam Kerr, and Jill Roord.
Fifpro noted that factors such as increased workload, travel, and insufficient rest are significantly contributing to the higher rate of ACL injuries among female athletes.
Sophie Ingle's injury adds to the troubling trend of ACL injuries in women's soccer, drawing attention to the urgent need for better management in player health and conditioning.
