Williamson was forced to miss this summer’s World Cup, where the Lionesses finished runners-up, after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament.
England and Arsenal defender Leah Williamson has said she “is more focused than ever to be back on the pitch” after being made an OBE at Windsor Castle.
“Days like today I can celebrate them properly with my family but I am more focused than ever to be back on the pitch.”Williamson said she could feel like “a new signing for my team” when she returns from injury. She said she has spoken to the Prince recently about making “my game grow” and how the women’s game can be integrated with men’s football.
“It’s not my preferred choice, I’d love to have shin pads and boots on on the pitch but while I’m not out I want to still try and have an impact and do what we do just in a different way.”
