WSL: Liverpool Ladies winger Nicole Rolser may miss full season
Last updated on .From the section Football
Liverpool Ladies could be without winger Nicole Rolser for the entire 2014 season because of a knee injury.
The 22-year-old German ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee in training on Tuesday and scans confirmed the severity of the injury.
Rolser helped the Reds to a maiden Women's Super League title in 2013.
"Nicole was a key player for us last season, not only scoring, but creating a number of goals and will be a major loss," said boss Matt Beard.
"However, Nicole will still have a big part to play off the pitch this season and I have no doubt that she will return as a key player for the team."
Lucy Staniforth, a winter recruit from Bristol Academy, is set for a long spell out after suffering a similar injury last month.
