Injured Lioness Beth Mead has revealed her devastation at not being at the World Cup this year alongside her teammates.

The Arsenal player ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament last November, and didn’t recover in time for the tournament, which saw England make it all the way to the final alongside Spain.

“It’s been a tough tournament to sit there and watch the games when you know you could’ve possibly been involved”, she told Sky.

“I’m full of emotions.”

00:00 It's been a tough tournament to sit there and watch the games,
00:03 when you know you could have possibly been involved if I didn't have the injury.
00:08 I will be so, so proud today.
00:11 I'm so happy when the girls lift that trophy, and if they do,
00:14 but also a little sense of sadness because you want to ultimately,
00:17 as a professional athlete, be there and pick up the biggest awards alongside them.
00:21 So, yeah, it's going to be a tough one, but I am full of emotion this morning.
00:27 I'm happy, but I also want to be there with them.
00:31 So, it's a tough one, and I know the other girls will feel the same,
00:34 you know, Leah Williamson and Fran Kirby and the other girls,
00:37 but unfortunately, it's part of football injuries and things like that.
00:41 And yeah, hopefully I can get back into the fold once I'm fit again and be a part of it again.
