Star player Keira Walsh seemed to sustain a severe knee injury just before halftime.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Barcelona midfielder twisted awkwardly while trying to intercept a pass, and she was visibly distressed as she was stretchered off the field, a Xinhua report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a lackluster 1-0 opening win against Haiti, where a penalty kick was the only differentiator, there were doubts about England&#39;s ability to put points on the board. But a proactive England responded to the critics with a high-energy start, punctuated in the sixth minute by a remarkable goal from Lauren James, who shot a bullet from outside the box.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Lionesses displayed fluid passing skills, with James targeting a second goal, but Denmark remained resilient.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Having successfully warded off multiple attacks, Denmark finally had an opportunity in the 24th minute. However, Rikke Marie Madsen&#39;s shot missed the target. Denmark found their groove, pressuring England&#39;s defense, but they failed to equalize.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England surmounted Walsh&#39;s absence to control the second half, but they couldn&#39;t put Denmark away. Alessia Russo came close in the 71st minute with a determined run, but her shot drifted wide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Denmark had late chances for an equalizer, their best effort being from Amalie Vangsgaard, who had previously scored a late winner against China in Perth, but her header struck the post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/major-league-cricket-2023-schedule-teams-squads\">Major League Cricket 2023 Schedule, Teams  And Squads<\/a><\/p><p>A draw in the later Group D fixture between China and Haiti on Friday would be sufficient for England to advance to the round of 16.<\/p>\r\n",
