London City Lionesses have confirmed the news that midfielder Charlotte Fleming has sustained an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.
FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an update from London City Lionesses this afternoon.
It has also been revealed that Fleming has suffered a Grade 2 Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) lesion and meniscus damage. The injury will sideline the player for a significant period of time. London City Lionesses have not put a timeframe on Fleming’s recovery but it seems likely that she will not play again this season.
The midfielder sustained her injury late on in London City Lionesses’ 4-3 victory over Charlton Athletic at The Oakwood last time out. The game was suspended for a lengthy period while Fleming was treated before being brought to a conclusion. Fleming was replaced by Carly Girasoli deep in second half injury time.
London City Lionesses signed Fleming last summer on a free transfer. The player scored one goal in 19 appearances for the club in last season’s Barclays Women’s Championship, helping The Pride to record a second-place finish. Fleming’s appearance against Charlton Athletic eight days ago was her first for London City Lionesses this season. The player will be missed during her period on the sidelines.
