MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -England defender Ella Morris suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training and will return to Tottenham Hotspur to begin her rehabilitation, the England team announced on Wednesday ahead of two Women's Nations League games.
The 22-year-old, who had received her first call-up to England's senior side for the two upcoming games, is the latest among a spate of female players to suffer the knee injury, which studies show women are between two and six times more likely to experience than men.
