- England captain Leah Williamson will miss the start of the new Women's Super League season due to a knee injury.
- The Arsenal defender sustained the problem during England's European Championship final triumph over Spain last month.
- She underwent a successful procedure last week to clean up swelling in her right knee and has begun rehabilitation.
- Williamson is expected to be out for several weeks, impacting Arsenal's opening WSL match on 6 September.
- This latest injury is not believed to be directly linked to a previous anterior cruciate ligament rupture in the same knee.
