Skinner provides Toone injury update

Monday 22 December 2025 14:03Marc Skinner revealed that Ella Toone was substituted against Tottenham Hotspur due to a hamstring issue.Our no.7 was replaced by Lisa Naalsund in the 62nd minute of Sunday’s League Cup quarter-final, with the scores level at one apiece. The visitors had taken the lead at the Progress with Unity Stadium, through Drew Spence, but Jess Park equalised in the early stages of the second half. Fridolina Rolfo was the decisive player against Spurs for the second straight weekend, as she netted the winner five minutes from time to set up a mouthwatering semi-final fixture against Arsenal in January. That’s one of two meetings with the Gunners in the diary for the first month of 2026, in addition to our very next outing – a key Barclays WSL clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 10 January.Toone has three weeks to recover now as we head into the winter break, and Skinner suggested that she will be checked again soon for a clearer prognosis. “Yeah, I’ve spoke to her,” he said, in his post-match interview with MUTV’s Mikey Partington. “There’s a little sensitivity in the hamstring area, so it is right to come off at that point.“She’ll obviously wait, address, see where she is. She has a little break now to rest and recuperate with the family, so we’ll assess from there. “There’s sensitivity in her hamstring, so we’ll assess as it settles down over the next few days.” The England international has featured in all 22 of United Women’s games so far this season, registering three goals and a team-high eight assists.Recommended:Blundell: I really enjoyed that!
