Reading FC Women were dealt a blow for the remainder of the season after they confirmed that Emma Harries is set for a spell on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament injury.
Harries picked up ligament damage during the most recent international break while away with England Women Under 23’s which will see her miss the rest of the 2021/22 Women’s Super League campaign.
Having had tests and scans back at the club, it revealed that she had ruptured her posterior cruciate ligament and will face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The academy graduate has played a pivotal role in Kelly Chambers’ team this season and has made 19 appearances with 14 starts.
“I am absolutely gutted to have gotten this injury at this point of the season,” said Harries.
“But I’ll make sure that I am better than ever when I can finally return.
“I want to thank my family, partner, players and staff for their ongoing support and care.”
