As a devoted fan of the game and Manchester City WFC, I’ve seen my fair share of ups and downs, but the recent injury to Alex Greenwood has left me feeling a bit blue. The resilience and grit she brings to the team are unparalleled, and her leadership on the field is something that cannot be easily replaced.
Manchester City Women’s Football Club secured a dominant victory against St. Polten, but the triumph was marred when their captain, Alex Greenwood, had to leave the game prematurely due to an injury. Currently leading in this season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League and sitting comfortably atop their group with five straight wins, City have been unbeaten so far. However, the absence of Greenwood from their squad could potentially make it challenging for them to preserve their undefeated continental streak. But, what exactly transpired to the experienced defender?
Here are all the available details regarding Greenwood’s latest ailment.
How did Alex Greenwood get injured?
In the latest 2-0 win by Manchester City against St. Polten, Alex Greenwood sustained an injury to her knee. Consequently, due to this injury, she had to be carried off the field on a stretcher during the initial half of the game itself. (Injury occurred, causing England international Alex Greenwood to exit the match on a stretcher in the first half of Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over St. Polten.)
During Polten’s aggressive push forward, there was a regrettable occurrence. Trying to halt Melanie Brunnthaler from crossing the midfield, Greenwood made a rash challenge. Unfortunately, this collision resulted in an injury for Alex Greenwood, causing coach Gareth Taylor to replace her at the 32nd minute. (GOAL rephrase)
After that announcement, Taylor has since given a fresh update regarding the status of their key player. As stated on Manchester City’s official site, the coach expressed on Friday, “We are currently waiting for the scan results, as it is being conducted today.
Currently, the English titans are grappling with a significant injury predicament, adding Alex Greenwood to their growing list of wounded players. Besides Greenwood, Manchester City is also without crucial team members such as Vivianne Miedema, Lauren Hemp, Naomi Layzell, and Khadija Shaw. While Hemp and Miedema are likely to be out for an extended period, Khadija Shaw may recover more quickly.
The injury-riddled Manchester City WFC will now be facing Barcelona in their last match of 2024.
