Manchester United Women's star Millie Turner will be sidelined for an "indefinite period" of time because of injury, the club has confirmed.
Ahead of this afternoon's Women's Super League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Leigh Sports Village, United have issued a statement to confirm that Turner will be forced to miss an unspecified period of action as a result of recent medical investigations uncovering an issue with the artery in her neck.
United have confirmed that Turner, who joined the club from Bristol City back in 2018, will be working closely with the club's medical team and specialists, which will involve a revamped training programme for her and reassessments in the coming weeks and months that lie ahead.
The defender, who is 25, has already been dealt bad luck on the injury front this season, suffering a dislocated kneecap back in September during a 3-1 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Capped by England at youth level, the former Everton star will now be hoping that this latest blow does not rule her out for too long, even though it is far too early to predict how long head coach Marc Skinner could be without her for.
She has been restricted to just a handful of appearances so far this term, meaning Skinner, fortunately, will have developed a system to cope with her absence.
United enter this lunchtime's tussle with Spurs third in the WSL, four points shy of current table-toppers Arsenal.
