Leah Williamson Ruled Out of Arsenal Women's Champions League Tie Against Hacken

In a significant setback for Arsenal Women's team, captain Leah Williamson has been ruled out of the second leg of the Champions League second-round tie against Hacken due to concussion protocol. This news comes after Williamson missed the Gunners' opening match of the Women's Super League (WSL) against Manchester City, which ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Impact on the Team's Defense

With Williamson sidelined, Arsenal will rely on her fellow England teammate Lotte Wubben-Moy and Laia Codina, who recently lifted the World Cup trophy with Spain, to strengthen their defensive line. The team will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage to overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

Additional Absences for Arsenal

Adding to the challenge, Victoria Pelova and Steph Catley were also absent from training on Wednesday, raising concerns regarding the squad's depth ahead of the crucial encounter.

What to Expect in the Second Leg

The upcoming match is critical for Arsenal as they aim to advance further in the tournament. Fans will be hoping for an inspired performance from the remaining squad members and new tactics to ensure victory.

As updates unfold, more details will be provided regarding the preparations and strategies the team will implement in this decisive match against Hacken.
