Britain proceeded with their Ladies' Reality Cup crusade with a limited 1-0 success over Denmark in their crunch Gathering D conflict in Sydney however experienced a stressing injury to Keira Walsh.


Good news for the Lionesses is that Lauren James' superb first-half finish was enough to win the game. Leah Williamson, Beth Mead, and Fran Kirby all missed the tournament due to injuries, but midfielder Walsh got her boot stuck in the turf during the first half, twisted her knee as she fell to the ground, and was stretchered off. This was yet another blow to a team already decimated by injuries.

Who could take Keira Walsh's place?

Keira Walsh appears unlikely to play a larger role in England's World Cup campaign, despite the unknown severity of her knee injury against Denmark.


Who can supplant her in the midfield?


Jordan Nobbs


Jordan Nobbs, a lively box-to-box midfielder and previous Weapons store commander, has had too much misfortune lately and had to pass up the 2019 World Cup, the 2020 Olympic Games and Euro 2022 as a result of knee and lower leg wounds.


She has made 71 appearances for her country and scored eight goals, including a memorable long-range drive against Italy in her debut in the Cyprus Cup in March 2013 despite those heartbreaking setbacks.


Nobbs, who is now 30 years old, will be thrilled to get back on the field at a major tournament. She has the composure and experience to fight the Lionesses from the middle of the field, just like Jill Scott was frequently asked to do during difficult times last summer.


She signed for Aston Villa earlier this year, joining current England teammate Rachel Daly. She scored a hat trick in the team's 6-2 victory over Brighton, firmly reestablishing her credentials at the highest level. Who could take Keira Walsh's place?

Who can supplant her in the midfield?


Katie Zelem, captain of Manchester United, has played for England at all five youth levels, from under-15s to under-23s, but she hasn't been able to break into the senior team's midfield, where there is a lot of competition for spots.


After starting out as a winger and modeling herself after Fara Williams and Andres Iniesta, Zelem has established herself at the center of the United's midfield. She has gradually settled into this position. She was named captain after Alex Greenwood left the Red Devils, who won the FA Women's Championship in 2018/19.


Zelem's ability and authority isn't in uncertainty however a standing for getting yellow cards may likewise not help her case. Who could take Keira Walsh's place?

Who else can take her place in the midfield?


Laura Coombs: The defensive midfielder Laura Coombs hadn't played for her country since October 2015 before she was selected by Sarina Wiegman for the Lionesses' Arnold Clark Cup squad earlier this year.


Her exceptional performances for Manchester City this season, watching her anchor a midfield that had appeared to be significantly weakened by the sales of Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway, and Caroline Weir the previous summer, clearly convinced the manager to bring Coombs in from the international wilderness.


The most established individual from the 23-in number Britain World Cup crew at a masterful 32, Coombs has a standing among her colleagues as a grafter who will carry a lot of involvement to a young side, despite the fact that her experience on the world stage has been to some degree restricted hitherto.



After China overcame a first-half red card to defeat Haiti 1-0, the Lionesses still have work to do to reach the last 16. Britain will top Gathering D and arrive at the knockout stages as long as they keep away from rout to the Asian heroes on Tuesday. Keira Walsh is England's one player who can't be replaced because "I've done my knee."



Keira Walsh was aware of it right away, and then she said the words that would ruin not only England's chances of winning the World Cup but also the Lionesses. That exemplifies how devastating it is to lose Walsh for any period of time, let alone the tournament and possibly beyond. Walsh is the one England player who cannot be replaced.


Their holding midfielder and pass master would have been Sarina Wiegman's choice to protect for the remainder of the World Cup.


The Lionesses presently face a horrible stand by to find the degree of Walsh's physical issue. It threatened to overshadow England's victory over Denmark and the remainder of their tournament in Australia.


Subsequent to losing Leah Williamson and Beth Mead to upper leg tendon wounds, it seems as though Britain have experienced another, a horrible turn that came after Wiegman rolled out two improvements to her group and the Lionesses, interestingly this World Cup, hoped to have clicked into gear Britain 1-0 Denmark: How "magic" Lauren James can lead the new Lionesses at the Women's World Cup There are times in football when everything else appears to be obsolete. Walsh was stretchered out with a knee injury as Sarina Wiegman lost her most important player at the Women's World Cup. It only takes a split second for time to freeze, and everything else seems to disappear from reality. The extent of the other ups and downs matters close to nothing; They are reduced to nitty-gritty by one event.


That event was the injury to Keira Walsh for England. An arena - and a country back home - were nauseated by what they'd seen. As her teammates tried unsuccessfully to console her, her knee was extended, her foot was planted in an awkward position, and a stretcher was brought in.


The incident that dominated the remainder and became the subject of conversation was Walsh's injury. It appeared as though Lauren James' genius had not occurred. The show's star had lost her sparkle.
