Real Madrid and Scotland midfielder Caroline Weir has suffered an ACL injury and will undergo surgery.<\/p>\n
Weir sustained the injury playing for Scotland in the Nations League against Belgium on Tuesday night when stretching to challenge for the ball.<\/p>\n
After trying to play on for a couple of minutes, the midfielder was eventually forced off the field 20 minutes in.<\/p>\n
Belgium took the lead after half-time through Kassandra Missipo before Sophie Howard’s header in the final seconds rescued a point for Scotland.<\/p>\n
Weir’s injury comes after fellow Scotland team-mate Emma Watson suffered the same injury on international duty earlier this week.<\/p>\n
