Recovery

Keira Walsh provided a potential boost to the England team ahead of their Women’s World Cup round of 16 match against Nigeria. Despite suffering a knee injury during the group stage game against Denmark, scans revealed that her ACL was not damaged. There was uncertainty about her availability for the rest of the tournament. However, Walsh, who currently plays for Barcelona, participated in individual training to recover and finally rejoined her teammates during Sunday’s practice session.

The knockout game against Nigeria is scheduled for Monday in Brisbane, Australia. The team has not yet disclosed whether Walsh, the highest-paid player in women’s soccer, will be able to play in this crucial match. Her move to Barcelona from Manchester City last year set a record fee of £400,000 ($513,000), making it the highest transfer in women’s soccer.

Although there were concerns about England’s ability to replace Walsh, they demonstrated their best performance in the tournament during their final group game, defeating China 6-1.
