Description
After news of Sam Kerr’s ACL injury broke at the weekend, we wanted to revisit our exploration of ACL injuries in women’s football just over 12 months ago – when another of the WSL’s stars was ruled out for the rest of the season, Beth Mead.In this episode, Chloe and Rachel looked into the alarming rate of ACL injuries across women’s football and what can be done to help those players affected.We spoke to Dr Emma Ross, a female athlete health specialist, to understand why women are up to six times more likely to suffer an ACL injury than their male counterparts. We were also joined by then-Aston Villa midfielder Remi Allen, who was recovering from an ACL injury at the time and gave us a unique insight into the mental and physical hurdles that accompany such a career-threatening setback.Check out Upfront's new social channels!
