Now, she has vowed to come back stronger in a post on social media.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Alongside a photo of her in a hospital bed, she wrote on X: "Not the ending to 2024 that I had planned. I will work so hard to be back on the pitch as soon as I can, for now I’m going to take some time to myself &amp; family who always give their time to me. Thankyou for all the support this year, see you all soon."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not the ending to 2024 that I had planned 😞<br>I will work so hard to be back on the pitch as soon as I can, for now I’m going to take some time to myself &amp; family who always give their time to me.<br>Thankyou for all the support this year, see you all soon 🩵❤️ <a href="https://t.co/Ov1AGfqZBk">pic.twitter.com/Ov1AGfqZBk</a></p>— Alex Greenwood (@AlexGreenwood) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexGreenwood/status/1869687900398620901?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT ALEX GREENWOOD SAID

<p>In most cases, a MCL tear is less serious than an anterior cruciate ligament one but Greenwood could still face a long spell on the sidelines. The defender may be in a race against time to play again this season and will have an eye on the 2025 European Championship swhich begin in Switzerland next July.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>City captain Greenwood will rest for a certain amount of time before working her way back to fitness in the coming months. </p>
