According to BBC Arsenal forward Vivianne Miedema is to undergo surgery after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament. • The 26-year-old Netherlands international was taken off on a stretcher during the Gunners' 1-0 Champions League defeat by Lyon on Thursday. • Arsenal said Miedema would be out for an extended period of time after her surgery in the coming days. • Writing on social media, Miedema said she was absolutely gutted . • It was one of those moments, where I knew straight away, she said. • There's so many things going through your head. I won't be able to help my team anymore this season, no World Cup, surgery and rehab for a long long time. • Miedema is the latest Arsenal player to be sidelined with a ruptured ACL after England forward Beth Mead - who is also her partner - sustained the injury in November. • Miedema has scored four goals this season to help the Gunners to second in the Women's Super League, while they top Group C in the Champions League with a game remaining. • It will be tough with plenty of difficult days, she added. There will be plenty of crying, which we've had a lot of already, but sadly enough it's part of football. • I'm lucky enough to have amazing team-mates, friends and family around me and Beth, who can guide me through everything that's coming while only being a couple of weeks ahead of me. • The club said in a statement: Everyone at Arsenal wishes Viv well in her recovery and will be providing her with all the support she needs to return to action as soon as possible. #viviannemiedema • #ARSENAL • #BarclaysWSL
