Liverpool’s Marie Hobinger Suffers Scan-Confirmed ACL Injury

The loss removes an established midfielder from a Liverpool side that has opened the WSL season with five straight defeats.

Overview

  • Höbinger left in the first half of Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield after feeling a knee problem.
  • Liverpool’s club doctor, Dr Amelia Woodhouse, said rehabilitation begins immediately with a surgical review scheduled in the coming days.
  • The club did not give a return date, and typical ACL recoveries of six to 12 months mean she may not play again this season.
  • Liverpool have lost all five league matches and sit 11th, increasing the on-field impact of her absence.
  • Head coach Gareth Taylor said the squad is devastated and pledged full support throughout her recovery.
