Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood has successfully undergone knee surgery after sustaining an injury during a match. Although fears of an ACL tear emerged, it was revealed that she injured her MCL, which typically allows for a quicker recovery. The club has yet to provide an expected timeline for her return.
Greenwood's injury is a setback for England manager Sarina Wiegman, adding to a growing list of injured players ahead of the Women's Nations League matches in 2025. With February's international window looming, Greenwood is likely to miss important games against world champions Spain and Portugal, jeopardizing her preparation for Euro 2025.
As City competes for the Women's Super League title, Greenwood's absence, along with fellow key players Lauren Hemp and Khadija Shaw, significantly hampers their title challenge as they end the year without three crucial members of their squad.
This injury disrupts Greenwood's opportunity to solidify her position in the national team ahead of Euro 2025. With competition for a starting spot against Leah Williamson and Millie Bright, lack of playtime could hurt her chances.
