Just twelve months after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Liana Joseph is making up for lost time in emphatic fashion. The 20-year-old OL Lyonnes forward has rattled in three goals across two appearances since her return - a comeback that few could have scripted better.
Joseph's injury struck in October 2025, ruling her out for the best part of a year. She stepped back onto the pitch on 23 September against Servette de Genève, before featuring against Toulouse on 3 October, where she found the net for the first time since her layoff, as Footeuses reports.
Her club form quickly earned a call-up to the U23 national team. On 8 October, Joseph marked her debut with both goals in a 2-0 victory - first a crisp low cross shot, then a diving header that underlined her sharpness and confidence.
For a player still only 20, the signs are hugely encouraging. A serious knee injury can derail careers, but Joseph appears determined to emerge stronger on the other side.
