Alessia Russo’s absence adds to Sarina Wiegman’s injury headache, as the Arsenal star becomes the third player to depart the Lionesses camp.

Sarina Wiegman’s injury list is growing worryingly long, with Alessia Russo the latest addition just three months out from England’s Euros defence. The Lionesses and Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of their star striker, who has left the international camp and returned to north London, where she will be further assessed after taking a knock to her ankle during the 5-0 win over Belgium on Friday.  Russo is the third player to withdraw from the camp, following her Arsenal team-mate Chloe Kelly and Chelsea’s Lauren James. James felt a ‘small moment’ in her hamstring during the game according to Wiegman and was withdrawn at half-time.  Arsenal and Chelsea have women’s Champions League semi-finals against Lyon and Barcelona respectively in two weeks’ time and both clubs will be hoping the severity of the injuries is minimal. The trio join Georgia Stanway, Alex Greenwood, Lauren Hemp and Fran Kirby on the sidelines, although Kirby is expected to be fit for the reverse fixture against Belgium in Leuven tomorrow.
