English World Cup concern: Bronze operated on

The 31-year-old was injured in last week’s Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, which Barça won 1-0. The second leg is played in Spain on Thursday.

For England’s national team captain Sarina Wiegman, it means additional headaches ahead of the World Cup this summer. If Barcelona’s forecast is correct, the WC should not be in danger for Bronze, but already it is clear that the star duo of Beth Mead and Leah Williamson will miss the championship due to injuries.

The Soccer World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will be played from July 20 to August 20.
