The young full-back suffered the injury in the recent international break with Sweden Under-23s in their WU23 European Competition final against England.

Our Head Coach went on to report that the rest of our international players have returned ‘fit and healthy’ and in contention for this weekend’s clash with Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (12noon UK).

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Martin told the media: "Everyone is fit and healthy. Hanna [Wijk] picked up an injury when she was with [Sweden] Under-23s and that will rule her out for the rest of the season.

“It's not an ACL, it's an MCL injury so she will be out for the rest of the season. She will now be looked after by the medical team at the Club and we will make sure we do everything we can to get Hanna back."

Forward Maika Hamano is back in contention after missing our last game with Chelsea in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.

In terms of long-term absentees, Clare Hunt, Jess Naz, Maite Oroz and Luana Buhler remain sidelined for this clash.
