Enderby awkwardly landed on her neck after the collision, prompting immediate concern from both sets of players and staff. The referee paused the game at Brisbane Road, allowing physios to assess her condition. After extensive on field treatment, she was carefully carried off on a stretcher and transported by ambulance for further evaluation. Head coach Gareth Taylor, speaking post match, described the scene as “not nice to see” and revealed he hadn’t yet spoken to the medical team. “I think she has gone to hospital but hopefully she is OK,” he added, noting that Enderby briefly seemed ready to return before the severity became clear.

The forward, who signed a new two year deal in the summer after 42 appearances and six goals in her first two seasons, has been an ever present in all six WSL games this campaign. Her absence compounds Liverpool’s injury woes, with Marie Hobinger and Sophie Roman Haug already sidelined by ACL tears. Despite taking the lead through Beata Olsson, the Reds fell 2 1 to goals from Toko Koga and Bethany England, leaving them winless and second bottom in the table after seven matches.

Meanwhile, the men’s side provided some cheer with a 2 0 Premier League victory over Aston Villa at Anfield, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch. But the women’s team’s ordeal has cast a shadow over the club as they await updates on Enderby’s condition ahead of a daunting Champions League clash with Real Madrid. Get well soon, Mia Anfield’s behind you.
