(Reuters) - England forward Fran Kirby will undergo knee surgery and miss the women's World Cup, the Chelsea player said on Tuesday, adding to a growing list of English players sidelined with knee injuries.

England captain Leah Williamson was the latest to be ruled out last month with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament while Beth Mead, who also ruptured her ACL in November, has not returned to action.

"Unfortunately after a few months of rehab the decision has been made that I will require surgery on my knee. I have been trying my best to not have to undergo this but unfortunately my progress has been limited due to the issue in my knee," Kirby said in a statement. "I'm going to be doing everything possible to be ready for the start of next season and want to wish my team mates at Chelsea the best of luck for the rest of the season and my Lioness team mates the best of luck for the summer."
