- Cruciate ligament injuries are a major problem in women’s football, and studies show that those who make a quick comeback after a cruciate ligament injury are at a significantly higher risk of suffering a new one.
- “Cruciate ligament injury is a serious injury that requires long rehab, and if you go back too fast, the body and psyche are not ready,” says Folksam researcher Helena Stigson to Radiosporten.
- Kif Örebro’s defender Maja Regnås, 22, who is currently recovering from her second cruciate ligament injury, believes that there is pressure to come back quickly. “It feels like people are pretty good at stressing in rehab. Some pressure comes from oneself, but I would say more from the environment, ”says Regnås.
