West Ham United Women have confirmed defender Shelina Zadorsky has undergone successful surgery after sustaining an ankle injury earlier this month.
The club announced the update via X, revealing that the centre back was injured during training ahead of West Ham’s Barclays Women’s Super League fixture away to Manchester United on Dec. 7.
The surgery was described as successful, with the Canadian defender now set to begin her recovery process.
Zadorsky has been a mainstay in West Ham’s lineup since first arriving on loan in January 2024 from Tottenham Hotspur. After spending the remainder of the 2024 season with the Hammers, she then signed on a free transfer to stay at the club and was made vice-captain that same summer.
This season, she has started nine of the 11 games in what has been a disappointing year for West Ham, who currently sit 11th in the WSL.
Zadorsky has been a Canadian international since 2013, earning herself 117 caps. She was also a part of the gold medal-winning Olympic side from 2021.
West Ham will now look to reorganize at the back while Zadorsky begins her rehabilitation. No return timeline has been announced, but the focus remains on a full and healthy comeback.
