The Football Association (FA) and Women's Super League (WSL) have launched a major study into anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in women's football. The initiative comes as high-profile players including England captain Leah Williamson, Arsenal forward Beth Mead, and Australia international Mary Fowler have all suffered ACL injuries in recent seasons. The study aims to better understand the causes and prevention of these injuries which disproportionately affect female athletes.
