ARSENAL boss Renee Slegers today revealed that Beth Mead will be sidelined with a hairline fracture in her shin.

The England forward started for the Gunners during their 1-0 win against Women’s Super League leaders Manchester City last Sunday but was taken off in the 68th minute.

Mead was not in the squad for Arsenal’s Champions League knockout round play-off win over Leuven on Wednesday and, ahead of tomorrow’s WSL clash against Brighton, Slegers provided an update on Mead and goalkeeper Anneke Borbe.
