Lucy Bronze is the reigning Fifa Best Women's PlayerManchester City and England defender Lucy Bronze has undergone knee surgery following her involvement in Team GB's Olympic football campaign.
The 29-year-old reigning Fifa Best Women's Player made 28 appearances for City last season, helping them finish runners-up in the Women's Super League.
Bronze played four Team GB matches in Tokyo as they made the last eight.
"Been managing a lot of pain of the past season," Bronze said in an Instagram post.
"This week I had a very successful planned knee surgery. Everything went well and the focus is now on a healthy recovery."
Berwick-on-Tweed-born Bronze, who joined City from French side Olympique Lyonnais in September 2020, will likely miss the start of the WSL season on the weekend of 3-5 September.
City's entrance in round two of the revamped Champions League, which kicks off on 31 August, will also potentially come too soon for the full-back.
