It's unfortunate to hear that Fran Kirby has had to withdraw from the England squad due to a knee injury, especially after such an impressive performance
Hopefully, it's indeed a minor issue and she can recover swiftly with the support of the medical team at Chelsea.
Wishing Fran Kirby a speedy recovery.
Chelsea forward Fran Kirby has withdrawn from the England squad because of a "minor knee injury".
Kirby suffered the issue in the warm-up for the friendly win against Austria on Friday and was replaced by Ella Toone in the starting line-up.
England said the 30-year-old will return to Chelsea for "further assessment" on the injury.
"At this stage, there are no plans to call a replacement into the senior squad," added a statement.
The Lionesses beat Austria 7-2 in Spain in their first game of 2024 and manager Sarina Wiegman's side will play Italy in another friendly on Tuesday.
