  • It's a knee injury which can put an athlete out of action for up to a year - including dozens of elite players who've been forced to miss out on the Women's World Cup.

    In fact women are far more likely to be affected by ligament injuries than men, but experts still don't understand why.
    It's led to renewed calls for more research - to find out what could help to reduce the risk.

    Different physiology....
    This obsession with making everything about sexism is childlike and punitive.

    Check your spelling. The report on this evening’s Channel 4 News was captioned: ‘anterior curiate ligament. Of course, it’s supposed to be ‘cruciate’ ligament.

    This is the injury that finished Clough in the 1960s and more or less did for Gascogne in 1991. Science can be slow, let alone when mixed with sexist reluctance to support women’s sport.

    Women have larger hips and more acute leg shape, making them more prone to acl injuries.
