Revealed: When Arsenal 'hope' to have Williamson back

Meet the Arsenal teen thriving in Williamson's injury absence

When it was revealed that Leah Williamson would miss the start of the new Women's Super League season, most assumed Lotte Wubben-Moy or Laia Codina would take her place in the heart of Arsenal's defence.
