Arsenal duo Hurtig and Ilestedt to depart

Lina Hurtig and Amanda Ilestedt will depart Arsenal Women at the end of the season, the club have confirmed.

The Sweden internationals could make their final appearances for the Gunners against Manchester United in the Women’s Super League this weekend, though both will also be available for the Champions League final against Barcelona on May 24.

Forward Hurtig made the switch to north London from Juventus before the 2022-23 campaign but has endured an injury-hit spell and missed time this season for personal reasons.

She has scored seven goals in 36 appearances for the club, including one in five WSL games this season.

Wishing you the best of luck in the future, Lina

Thank you for everything
