Kadeisha Buchanan's ACL Injury Adds to Chelsea's Defensive Woes

The Canadian defender is the latest in a string of Chelsea players sidelined by ACL injuries this season.

Kadeisha Buchanan, a key player for Chelsea and the Canadian national team, has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will require surgery.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor announced Buchanan's injury following the team's victory over Manchester City, which placed them at the top of the Women's Super League standings.
Buchanan is the sixth Chelsea player to suffer an ACL injury in the past year, highlighting an ongoing issue within the team.
The injury further depletes Chelsea's defensive lineup, already impacted by similar injuries to teammates like Sam Kerr and Sophie Ingle.
This development comes during a challenging time for Canadian soccer, following the recent departure of head coach Bev Priestman due to a separate controversy.
