Man United Women’s Gabby George has suffered another anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after coming off injured during their clash with Leicester City this past weekend.

The 26-year-old was forced off nine minutes into the match on Sunday and according to The Athletic, tests since have confirmed she has sustained an injury to her ACL. George will now undergo surgery and is set for a long spell on the sidelines.
