During England’s Nations League match against Belgium in Leuven, defender Alex Greenwood was stretchered off following a head collision with Belgian forward Jassina Blom approximately 20 minutes into the game.
Both players were left on the ground after the match.
Greenwood received on-field medical attention for approximately 10 minutes before being stretchered off, while Jess Carter was substituted in as her replacement. Blom, wearing a head bandage, was able to continue playing.
A subsequent post on the Lionesses’ official X account read: “Alex Greenwood is conscious and talking, and is being monitored by our medical staff.”
Despite trailing 1-0 after Laura De Neve’s free-kick, the Lionesses managed to stage a comeback. Goals from Lucy Bronze and Fran Kirby gave them a 2-1 lead as the first half entered stoppage time.
However, Tessa Wullaert later equalized in the additional period, leveling the score once again.
