A growing chorus of women's soccer players have called for research into anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, one of sport's most debilitating injuries and one that women are between two and six times more likely to suffer than men. Project ACL, which was launched on Tuesday by several collaborating partners with hopes of reducing ACL injuries in the women's game, is a response to that call, said Alex Culvin of global players' union FIFPRO. FIFPRO, the Professional Footballers' Association, Nike and Leeds Beckett University have teamed up for the three-year project which will focus on England's 12-team Women's Super League (WSL).
