(Reuters) - The sports sector's response to the high rates of women footballers suffering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries has been "disparate and slow", the British Parliament's Women and Equalities Committee said in a report published on Tuesday.
England duo Beth Mead and Leah Williamson, Dutchwoman Vivianne Miedema and Canadian Janine Beckie were among a group of elite players who missed the 2023 Women's World Cup due to ACL injuries.
