Overview
- Tottenham confirmed the 25-year-old ruptured the ACL in her right knee during Sunday’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa, ending her 2025–26 campaign.
- Spurs said she will have surgery and begin club-led rehabilitation, while Reuters reported the operation has already taken place.
- Naz previously sustained an ACL injury in her left knee in 2019, a setback that kept her out for about 18 months before earning six England caps.
- Her setback adds to a growing list of WSL ACL cases this season across clubs including Arsenal, Brighton, Liverpool and Aston Villa, with ongoing FIFA-linked and academic research into potential causes.
- Naz had started every league match for Spurs this season as they sit fifth, and her absence follows earlier Spurs ACL injuries to Maite Oroz and Ella Morris with Manchester United fixtures next on the schedule.
