Leah Williamson has captained England in every game under Sarina Wiegman

Defender Leah Williamson has been ruled out of England’s Women’s World Cup qualifiers this month because of “a significant” hamstring injury while her Arsenal team-mate Jordan Nobbs has been recalled to Sarina Wiegman’s squad.

Williamson faced Tottenham on Saturday but later “experienced discomfort”.

Gunners manager Jonas Eidevall said scans showed the injury may “possibly leave her out this whole year”.

That would see Williamson, 24, miss up to seven games for Arsenal.

She has captained England in every game since Wiegman took charge in September.
