Olivia Smith: Arsenal forward out of Canada squad with concussion

Arsenal forward Olivia Smith has withdrawn from the Canada squad for the SheBelieves Cup because of concussion.

The 21-year-old was involved in a clash of heads early in the second half during the Gunners’ 3-0 victory over Bristol City in the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday.

She was carried off the pitch on a stretcher, having been fitted with a neck brace, after a lengthy pause in play.

Canada are scheduled to play Colombia, the United States and Argentina in the SheBelieves Cup during the international break in March.

However, Arsenal said in a statement, external that she would miss the tournament, held in the USA, after suffering concussion.

The club added: “Olivia will remain at Arsenal under the supervision of our medical team during the international break while she recovers.”

Smith became the first £1m player in women’s football history when she joined the Gunners from Liverpool in July 2025.
