City forward Miedema undergoes knee surgery

Manchester City have confirmed that striker Vivianne Miedema has undergone knee surgery, although the club did not specify the extent of the injury.

Miedema signed a three-year contract at City in the summer after her contract at Arsenal expired, scoring two goals in her first five games.

It is not the first time she has suffered a significant knee injury. In December 2022, she suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, which ruled her out of the majority of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 campaigns.

“The Dutch international will now begin a period of rehabilitation at the City Football Academy, working closely with the club’s medical team,” the club said in a statement.
