England women’s football captain Leah Williamson has been spending her recovery period from a calf injury with a break in Ibiza. The Arsenal midfielder was seen enjoying a series of social outings on the Spanish island last week, including nights out at well-known local venues.

Williamson visited the prominent Pikes nightclub, a popular spot on the White Isle, before attending a performance by DJ Calvin Harris at Ushuaia, one of the island’s largest superclubs. She was accompanied by friends and her model girlfriend, Elle Smith. According to a witness, Williamson appeared to be in high spirits, participating in the celebrations alongside her group.

The injury to Williamson’s calf has sidelined her from recent England Women’s squad selections, and while she was able to partake in the festivities, observers noted she was less active on the dance floor compared to those around her. The break from competition comes as the captain manages her fitness ahead of upcoming commitments with her club and country.

This period away from the pitch appears to have offered Williamson an opportunity to relax and recharge, with analysts suggesting that such time off could be helpful for her mental and physical readiness as she prepares to return to play.
