England star Keira Walsh's knee injury may have been caused by the pitch being 'TOO DRY', suggests Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall as he labels the Sydney surface 'a danger to player welfare' and warns players against knee sliding to celebrate goals

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall has suggested that Keira Walsh's knee injury may have been caused by the pitch being 'too dry' as he slams the surface in Sydney at the Women's World Cup.

The Barcelona midfielder was left in tears as she was taken off on a stretcher during the first half of the game against Denmark for England.

She was replaced in the 38th minute by Laura Coombs, leaving the field after seen mouthing 'I've done my knee' on television.

Arsenal boss Eidevall discussed the injury at half-time, blasting the surface in Sydney.
