Bayern midfielder set to miss England Nations League games after operation

Georgia Stanway will be “a few months” after a knee injury, say Bayern Munich.

The midfielder of England, 26, was an operation on Wednesday after tearing her lateral cruciate ligament.

Stanway is expected to miss the first four Nations League matches of England that take place in February and April.

The Euro winner of England and World Cup finalist has won back-to-back Bundesliga titles since he had signed for Bayern in 2022, after he also helped Man City to the WSL in 2016, as well as three FA Cups.

With whom is England confronted in Nations League?

England will be confronted with a repetition of the Women's World Cup Final 2023 after pulling Spain in the Nations League 2025.

For the first time since the World Cup Final of August 2023, England will be confronted with the world and Nations League champions, when they were defeated 1-0 by the first half of Olga Carmona.

The Lionesses will also play Belgium – that Sarina Wiegman's side in the last edition of the tournament with a 3-2 victory in Leuven in October last October – and Portugal, which they have not played in a competitive game since 2017.
