Leah Williamson Misses Key World Cup Qualifiers Due to Injury

Lionesses captain Leah Williamson is out of England's World Cup qualifiers against Spain and Ukraine due to a hamstring injury. Grace Fisk replaces her, and Sophie Baggaley steps in for Khiara Keating, who is also unavailable. England leads Group A3 and seeks qualification with a win against Spain.

England's World Cup qualifying campaign faces a challenge as Lionesses captain Leah Williamson is sidelined with a hamstring injury. The defensive stalwart was set to participate in crucial matches against Spain and Ukraine.

Williamson's absence has prompted a call-up for Liverpool's Grace Fisk. Furthermore, England will also have to adjust their squad, with Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley stepping in for Khiara Keating, who misses the Spain game due to concussion protocol.

The team remains optimistic, having previously defeated world champions Spain at Wembley. A victory in their upcoming match would secure their spot in next year's tournament in Brazil.
