West Ham Midfielder Ziu Faces Second ACL Injury Setback.

West Ham midfielder Jessica Ziu has sustained her second ACL injury in under two years. The latest injury occurred during a closed-door pre-season friendly on Thursday.

The 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international had just returned from a previous ACL injury that sidelined her for over a year. She missed Ireland's 2023 World Cup campaign in New Zealand and Australia.

Now, Ziu will have surgery and start her rehabilitation at West Ham's Chadwell Heath training ground. After her initial recovery, she made four appearances in the Women's Super League last season.
