(Reuters) - Chelsea defender Jorja Fox has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury while on loan at Crystal Palace, the Women's Super League (WSL) champions said on Thursday.

The 21-year-old, who signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea last month before joining Palace on loan, will return to her parent club to continue her rehabilitation.
