Spurs Women confirm Alice Sombath suffers ruptured ACL injury

Tottenham Hotspur Women announced that defender Alice Sombath has a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee. The injury occurred during the North London Derby against Arsenal last weekend, marking the defender's first league start. At 23 years old and having recently joined from OL Lyon, Sombath will miss the remainder of her debut season in England and likely the next summer’s World Cup. Her absence leaves Spurs thin at centerback with another defender, Clare Hunt, also sidelined and without a timeline for recovery. The club expressed their support for Sombath during her recovery process.
