Manchester City Women’s team has suffered a significant setback with news that Australian forward Mary Fowler has sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The injury occurred during their Women’s FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester United, further compounding injury concerns for the squad.
Fowler Faces Extended Absence
Fowler, aged 22, who has been a key player this season with 10 goals, is expected to be sidelined for a considerable period, likely missing the remainder of the current year. This ACL injury represents a major blow to Manchester City’s attacking options.
Injury Crisis Deepens for City Squad
The Australian international joins a growing list of Manchester City players currently out of action due to serious knee injuries. Risa Shimizu, Alex Greenwood, and Lauren Hemp are also recovering from knee ailments and have yet to feature in 2025. Furthermore, Khadija Shaw and Vivianne Miedema were absent from Sunday’s match due to separate injuries, highlighting the team’s current injury predicament.
Fowler’s Reaction to Setback
Fowler, speaking on the Matildas’ official website, expressed her disappointment. “I’m really dejected to be facing time away from the field. It’s always challenging when this type of incident occurs, particularly when you’ve been working diligently and feeling strong. The recovery journey ahead will be demanding, but I am prepared to confront it.”
Committed to Recovery
“I still have significant goals I wish to achieve, and I intend to utilize this period for personal and professional development. I am dedicated to putting in the necessary effort, maintaining a positive outlook, and returning stronger than before. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who has sent messages of support and checked in – it has truly meant a great deal. The encouragement from my teammates, family, friends, and supporters has been uplifting and reminded me of how fortunate I am to have such a robust support system.”
