Leah Williamson sustained a knee injury in the Euro 2025 final and will miss Arsenal's Women's Super League season start. Williamson missed the Gunners' pre-season training camp in Germany after reporting swelling in her right knee following the tournament. She previously suffered an ACL injury after Euro 2022 that caused a 10-month absence and missed the 2023 World Cup before returning in early 2024. Williamson made 19 WSL appearances last season with seven clean sheets and played the full Champions League final against Barcelona. Arsenal open the season against London City Lionesses on September 6; Lotte Wubben-Moy is expected to fill the void.
Arsenal will begin their Women's Super League campaign without England captain Leah Williamson after she sustained a knee injury in the Euro 2025 final. Williamson missed the Gunners' pre-season training camp in Germany this month after reporting back to the club with swelling in her right knee following the tournament. After guiding the Lionesses to the European Championships in 2022, Williamson suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that saw her miss the World Cup in 2023.
She missed 10 months of action before returning to the field in early 2024, leading her team this year to back-to-back triumphs at the European Championships. Williamson made 19 appearances for Renee Slegers' side in the WSL last season, keeping seven clean sheets, a total only bettered by Steph Catley (seven) for the Gunners. The 28-year-old also played the duration of Arsenal's Women's Champions League victory over Barcelona in the final, their second title in Europe's elite competition.
