Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone is set to miss the Women's League Cup final on Sunday, March 15, due to a hip injury. United manager Marc Skinner confirmed the England international will be sidelined for the showpiece event.
Toone sustained a bone stress response in her hip, an injury expected to keep her out for six to eight weeks from late January. Skinner indicated the 26-year-old midfielder should return before the season concludes, but the final falls within her recovery period.
The Conti Cup final will feature Manchester United Women against Chelsea at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol. Toone's absence is a significant blow for United, as she is a crucial player and the club's all-time leading scorer. She was last involved in a League Cup quarter-final win over Tottenham in December.
