Man City striker Vivianne Miedema sidelined following surgery for persistent knee injury | OneFootball

Manchester City’s Vivianne Miedema is sidelined again after having surgery for a persistent knee injury. The club announced today that the Dutch striker will be out of action and her recovery time is uncertain, following a successful procedure on her left knee.

Miedema, once prolific at SC Heerenveen, has already been on the sidelines twice this year due to knee problems. She had already withdrawn from the last international period due to strain, but now it turns out that she has undergone surgery.

The Dutch forward, who sits as her country’s top scorer with 96 goals in 120 games, moved from Arsenal to Manchester City last summer. Miedema has two goals and an assist in her five sky blue games so far.

With the Gunners, the Dutch star scored 80 goals in 108 Women’s Super League games, while also winning a league title and three league cups.
