25 year old Pelova has become a key figure in Arsenal Women’s midfield since joining the club from Ajax in January 2023.
Arsenal were devastated by ACL injuries in the 2022-23 season with Beth Mead, Vivianne Miedema, Leah Williamson and Laura Wienroither all suffering the same fate. Now it is confirmed that our young midfield maestro will need to undergo surgery and will have an extensive period of rehabilitation ahead of her.
This is devastating news for Pelova, the club and Arsenal Women fans ahead of the 2024-25 season..
