Spurs and England winger Jessica Naz sustains second ACL injury of her career

Naz sustained injury against Aston Villa on Sunday

She will have surgery and will not play again this season

The England winger Jessica Naz will miss the rest of the season after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in her right knee.

The 25-year-old was withdrawn injured during Tottenham’s Women’s Super League victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. Spurs released a statement on Tuesday saying that Naz would undergo surgery.

Her injury is the latest in a mountain of ACL injuries that have affected her England teammates and other WSL players this season. Michelle Agyemang, a star of England’s Euro 2025 campaign, tore an ACL in October. Liverpool’s Marie Höbinger and Sophie Román Haug, Arsenal’s Manuela Zinsberger, Aston Villa’s Jill Baijings and Tottenham’s Maite Oroz also sustained ACL injuries in October, before the Arsenal youngster Katie Reid picked up the same injury in November.
