Fleming Suffers Ruptured ACL - Ipswich Town News
Ipswich Town Women’s midfielder Charlotte Fleming is set for a long spell on the sidelines after suffering a full rupture of her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during Sunday’s on-penalties Adobe Women’s FA Cup victory at Hashtag United.
Fleming, 22, who joined the Blues on a one-year deal in the summer after leaving Watford having previously had spells with Chelsea, Leicester and London City Lionesses, was stretchered off in the 58th minute of Sunday’s game at Parkside, Aveley.
"Everyone is gutted for Charlotte,” manager Joe Sheehan told the club site.
"She has been a central member of our team following her move in the summer and will certainly be a big miss for us during the second half of the season.
"For Charlotte, this injury is an especially tough one given she suffered a ruptured ACL in her other knee two years ago, but she has shown she can fight back from this before and I am sure she will do so again with the support of everyone at the club.”
