"Leah Williamson could make her first appearance since the Euro 2025 final when Arsenal face Twente in the Women's Champions League on Tuesday, Renee Slegers has confirmed. The European champions have made an indifferent start to their title defence, winning two and losing two of their first four games to sit 10th in the 18-team standings. The Gunners are also fourth in the Women's Super League, eight points behind leaders Manchester City, having had to cope without their captain all campaign."
"Williamson had to undergo knee surgery following the Lionesses' victory over Spain in the European Championship final in July. Sarina Wiegman's team triumphed 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, despite Williamson being one of two England players failing to convert in the shoot-out. Williamson made 19 WSL appearances last season, starting on 17 occasions in a bounce-back campaign after an anterior cruciate ligament tear limited her to just nine outings in the previous edition of the competition, in 2023-24."
Leah Williamson could return to action for Arsenal against Twente in the Women's Champions League after recovering from knee surgery sustained after the Euro 2025 final. Arsenal have had an uneven Champions League start, winning two and losing two of four matches and sit 10th in the 18-team standings, while sitting fourth in the WSL. Williamson underwent surgery following England's penalty shoot-out win over Spain and missed the start of the club season. She made 19 WSL appearances last season and played the full match as Arsenal beat Barcelona to win the Champions League. Manager Renee Slegers confirmed Williamson has trained with the squad and was an unused substitute against Liverpool.
