Arsenal, who won the Champions League last season, played 58 matches in all competitions – compared to 52 the previous season.
Alessia Russo and Beth Mead played six more matches as England won Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
Research indicates that female athletes are two to six times more likely to suffer ACL injuries than males.

The WSL organizes matches in the WSL, UEFA is responsible for the Women’s Champions League and European Championships, and FIFA oversees the World Cup.
Match congestion is also a problem in men’s football.
Manchester City midfielder Rodri said last September – shortly before he suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury – that players were about to go on strike in protest.
Later that month, Arsenal defender Jurrian Temper described the schedule as “dangerous” and said it was a “big topic” in the dressing room.
