<\/p>\nHello my friends, It\u2019s been a minute since I\u2019ve written about Spurs Women. It\u2019s been depressing following Spurs and depressing living in the United States of America, and I have to admit it got the better of me. I was gearing up to come back with a season recap article and some squad building thoughts, and I will get to that eventually. But unfortunately, the cruel hand of chance intervened, and I now have to bring you this news instead\u2014our promising young fullback Ella Morris has injured her ACL during her first England call up.<\/p>\n

According to reports<\/a>, Ella will now return to Tottenham<\/a> for surgery and rehab. It\u2019s Ella\u2019s second ACL injury\u2014the first came in March of 2020, also while on international duty. It\u2019s fair to say she came back stronger from her first, but there\u2019s no doubt she has a long road ahead of her.<\/p>\n Ella Morris arrived at Spurs<\/a> ahead of the 2024-25 season. She was touted as a highly-rated youth prospect, but she managed to break into the first team and then the starting lineup over the course of the season. Her excellent work stood out in a squad where many of the other players were stagnating or regressing. The fact that she supplanted Amanda Nild\u00e9n (a player who I think is quite good!) for her starting spot says it all. Ella\u2019s first England call up felt like the cherry on top of all that excellent work. It\u2019s a cruel twist of fate she won\u2019t get to enjoy that honor.<\/p>\n Ella\u2019s injury leaves Spurs Women with even more uncertainty going into next season. We\u2019ve already got a squad with gaping holes coming off the back of an 11th place finish (out of 12, if you\u2019re new here), assistant coach Vicky Jepson is on her way to coach in the United States<\/a>, and Emma Sanders recently reported<\/a> that Spurs are looking into sacking manager Robert Vilahamn. Ella was one of about five or six nailed on starters (by my judgment, the others are Lize Kop, Ash Neville, Molly Bartrip, Eveliina Summanen, and Beth England). Losing a player for the season who could\u2019ve been part of that backbone? It\u2019s a huge blow. <\/p>\n I\u2019ll do my best to end on a high note. ACL rehab times are constantly improving, and Ella will have the full support of both Spurs and England as she recovers. She\u2019s still so young, and I\u2019d expect a 22 year old to have a much faster recovery timeline than, say, a 30 year old. Who knows? We may see her before the end of the season. But in the end, it\u2019s important she takes all the time she needs to come back right\u2013she isn\u2019t a player who is overly reliant on pace and acceleration, so I\u2019m hopeful she\u2019ll come back even stronger.<\/p>\n Sending my best thoughts to Ella. We\u2019re with you and we can\u2019t wait to see you back on the pitch!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello my friends, It\u2019s been a minute since I\u2019ve written about Spurs Women.
