Bronze’s England team-mates Beth Mead and Leah Williamson have suffered anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
England defender Lucy Bronze has welcomed a groundbreaking new study that aims to understand the widespread occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in professional women’s football.
The partners hope their three-year project, focused on players in England’s Women’s Super League, will result in findings around best practice that can be implemented worldwide, while there are also ambitions to use the WSL as a pilot and eventually expand research to other leagues.Bronze said: “It’s really important. We need to start fine-tuning the information that we’re putting out. There’s just so much talk and lot of wrong information that gets put out.
Fern Whelan, an ex-Brighton defender who is now the equality, diversity, and inclusion women’s football executive at the PFA, said: “It’s really a concern and a frustration, potentially, that more isn’t done. Project ACL will comprise three steps: a review of existing academic research, an assessment of WSL clubs to better understand their access to research, facilities and personnel and real-time tracking of the workload and travel of WSL players through a digital tool.
