Höbinger joined Liverpool in 2023 and quickly became an integral part of their midfield, offering creativity, vision, and composure. Her absence will be deeply felt as the Reds navigate the challenges of the remainder of the season.

In an official statement, the club confirmed: “Marie has suffered an ACL injury and will begin her rehabilitation with the full support of everyone at the club.” Teammates, staff, and fans responded with messages of love and encouragement across social media.

Gareth Taylor, making his start as Liverpool’s new head coach, expressed deep regret at the news and emphasised the club’s commitment to her recovery.

Around the pitch, the mood was sombre. Höbinger was clearly in pain as she left the field, assisted by medical staff, and her emotional reaction underscored just how serious the setback might be.

ACL injuries are a familiar ordeal in the women’s game, long, and demanding in every sense. For Höbinger, the road ahead now lies in months of rehabilitation, physical therapy, and psychological resilience. With the backing of Liverpool’s medical team, her teammates, and supporters, she at least does not face that path alone.

Liverpool stated the news in a social media post earlier today. It’s a reminder that beyond tactics and results, football is a community, and in this moment, that community rallies around one of its own.
