England and Arsenal star Leah Williamson goes off injured in WSL clash with Manchester United
There are fresh injury fears over the England skipper following a Women's Super League fixture in Leigh.
<p>Leah Williamson will be hoping her place at the World Cup is not under threat after limping out of Arsenal's Women's Super League clash against Manchester United with an injury.</p>
Williamson collapsed in pain in the 12th minute against the table toppers at Leigh Sports Village, appearing the catch her studs in the turf and appearing to damage her knee.
She immediately signalled to the bench for treatment, eventually being helped from the field as she disappeared down the tunnel.
With less than 100 days to go before the World Cup begins that could spell bad news for a Lionesses side who have already lost Beth Mead to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in November.
England will kick off the tournament with a clash against Haiti on July 22.
Sarina Wiegman's side will then close out the group phase with games against Denmark and China.
The Lionesses recently suffered a rare defeat as Australia stunned the European champions with a 2-0 success in Brentford.
