Jess Park Withdraws From England Squad After Concussion, Returns to Man United for Rehab

Symptoms persisted at St George’s Park, prompting a continued, club-managed concussion recovery.

Overview

  • Manchester United confirmed the 24-year-old has left the Lionesses camp and returned to the club to continue rehabilitation.
  • The delayed concussion followed United’s 4-1 win at Everton, and she missed the Champions League trip to Atlético Madrid and has not trained since.
  • Despite reporting to camp on Monday, she remained symptomatic and will miss England friendlies against Brazil on Saturday and Australia on Tuesday.
  • Since a summer move from Manchester City, Park has made nine appearances with three goals and an assist, and on Thursday she was named WSL Player of the Month for October.
  • Reports suggest the hope is for a return at the start of November for the trip to Brighton, with PSG visiting Old Trafford about 10 days later in the Champions League, though that timeline is not confirmed.
