England captain Leah Williamson is set to miss the start of the Women's Super League season with a knee injury she suffered in the Euro 2025 final. The 28-year-old Arsenal centre-back missed the Gunners' pre-season training camp in Germany this month after reporting back to the club with swelling in her right knee. She has now had a small clean-up operation, which was a success, and has started her rehabilitation, but she is be expected to be out for several weeks.

Five of England's Euro 2025-winning squad have been nominated for the Women's Ballon d'Or, including captain Leah Williamson and Lucy Bronze, who played with a fractured leg.

England will face Spain in the Euro 2025 final, seeking to defend their Women's European Championship trophy after overcoming early group-stage adversity.
