Charlton Athletic have been dealt an early blow to their Barclays Women’s Championship campaign after it was revealed on Sunday that Mia Ross ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament during a Professional Game Academy fixture. The youngster suffered the injury during Charlton U21’s 3-0 defeat against Arsenal U21.
The 21-year-old committed to a fourth season with Karen Hills’ side this summer, but will now be sidelined for an extended period of time. A box-to-box force on the pitch, the Liverpool youth product also coaches at the Addicks‘ academy.

The versatile footballer turns her focus now to recovery, whilst promotion chasing Charlton gear up to face Durham at The Valley later this week, after beating Sheffield United 1-0 in their second league match of the season.
