Leah Williamson has been ruled out of the second leg of Arsenal Women’s Champions League second-round tie against Hacken due to concussion protocol.
Williamson missed the Gunners’ WSL opener against Manchester City last weekend, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Lotte Wubben-Moy, Williamson’s England team-mate, and Laia Codina, who won the World Cup with Spain last year, are in line to continue in defence as Arsenal look to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
Victoria Pelova and Steph Catley were also absent from training on Wednesday.

Arsenal Women boss, Eidevall, evades direct question about Lina Hurtig injury
Was Jonas Eidevall satisfied with what the summer transfer window had to offer? Is there a player that Jonas Eidevall feels he should have signed but didn’t? That was the question the Arsenal manager had to answer in his latest press conference.
Arsenal recruited Mariona Caldentey, Rosa Kafaji, and Daphne van Domselaar this summer. They also wanted Keira Walsh, but that deal didn’t go through; Barcelona rejected a record bid from Arsenal women for the midfielder.
Now that we’ve moved past the Walsh transfer failure and reassured ourselves that she may join us in January or on a free transfer next summer, someone has asked an intriguing transfer question.
According to reports, Jonas Eidevall was questioned about Lina Hurtig’s injury and whether he would have preferred another wide player this summer.
He didn’t say yes or no; he admitted, “The easy answer is that we have a budget; we don’t have unlimited funds. Some things I get a yes to when I want. Some things, like all managers, I get a no. We have to constantly adapt to that reality. Sometimes that means we might go into a transfer window with one player less than ideal; sometimes we have exactly the numbers, we always have to prioritise how we spend our resources.”
