England Women midfielder Jordan Nobbs is in danger of missing next year's World Cup after sustaining a serious knee injury.

Scans have confirmed the 25-year-old suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during Arsenal's 4-0 victory over Everton at the weekend.

The World Cup begins in France in June, meaning Nobbs has less than eight months to recover her fitness before the tournament kicks-off.

A statement from Arsenal Women said: "Everyone at the club wishes Jordan a speedy recovery and will give their full support in her journey back to full fitness."
