Overview
- Introduced late for her first minutes since Euro 2025, the Arsenal and England defender completed a 10‑minute cameo without issue and drew a warm reception.
- Williamson’s knee problem was sustained in the Euros final and required a small clean-up operation in late August, keeping her out of pre-season and the early campaign.
- Arsenal moved up to second with the win at Everton, with goals from Katie McCabe, Alessia Russo on her 100th WSL appearance, and substitute Olivia Smith after Honoka Hayashi’s equaliser.
- Next up are a Champions League trip to OH Leuven on December 17 and a League Cup quarter-final at Crystal Palace on December 21, with her involvement yet to be defined.
- Recent social-media posts showed Williamson spending time in New York with model Elle Smith, a connection neither has publicly confirmed.
