The national break caused inconvenience mainly for Chelsea and Arsenal
The April national team break caused many injuries. Especially Arsenal, who are waiting for the semi-final clash with Lyon, are currently missing three players. Chloe Kelly left the England before the first match against Belgium due to a foot injury. Goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar still started Friday's game against Austria, but suffered a knee injury during the game and returned to England early from the international camp.
The star of the match against Real Madrid, Alessia Russo, will also be missing for England in the next match. She has left the England squad and returned to Arsenal for further assessment after picking up an ankle injury.
