(Reuters) – Arsenal captain Kim Little will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury, the Women’s Super League (WSL) club said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The midfielder, 32, came off 12 minutes into Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over German side Bayern Munich in their Women’s Champions League quarter-final second leg on March 29.<\/p>\n

“… tests have subsequently confirmed that the injury will keep her sidelined for the remainder of the campaign,” Arsenal said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Our captain has already begun her rehabilitation and this process is progressing well. We expect her to be available for the start of preparations for the 2023-24 season.”<\/p>\n

The former Scotland international’s injury will come as a big blow to Arsenal’s WSL and Champions League title aspirations.<\/p>\n

They have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they will face VfL Wolfsburg, and are third in the WSL with 38 points from 16 games. <\/p>\n

Arsenal next travel to face league leaders Manchester United, who are three points ahead of the London club but have played a game more.<\/p>\n
