England midfielder Keira Walsh left her team’s match against Denmark on a stretcher and visibly affected after an action in which she hurt herself by placing her right knee on the grass.
Walsh, a Barcelona footballer and the undisputed starter for England, was replaced this Friday by Laura Coombs in the 38th minute after spending a couple of minutes lying on the pitch with the team doctors, who decided that she should leave the game on a stretcher.
With her hands on her head and lamenting on the stretcher, the player left the field of play, who was approached by the coach Sarina Wiegman, visibly concerned, to give her encouragement.
Walsh is one of the great stars of England who left Manchester City last year to sign for Barcelona in exchange for an unprecedented sum in world women’s football (400,000 euros).
At 25 years old, Walsh is in charge of directing the European champion team for her quality with the ball and her mastery in directing the game.
