The 21-year-old missed Liverpool’s WSL victory at Bristol City yesterday and took to Instagram to explain her absence.
She posted the graphic photos alongside a caption that read: “So this happened in training on Tuesday hence why I’m not with the girls for today’s game…
“This has got to be the worst injury I’ve ever had as a goalkeeper but after a lot of swelling and pain (and looking like a cabbage patch doll) I can finally say I’m feeling a lot better and ready to get back out there with my girlies!
“I’m supporting them every minute from home @liverpoolfcw.
“See ya back on the pitch soon – love from Fran aka HP (For now) BRB.”
Kitching was caught by a stray boot as she attempted to gather a loose ball on the ground.
And such is the severity of the cut, it is still unclear how long she will miss.
The former England Under-20 keeper joined Liverpool in 2018 having previously played for Sheffield United, Chelsea and Watford.
Liverpool moved above relegation rivals Bristol City into 11th with the win but they are still in trouble with just six points, and only four goals scored from 12 matches played so far.
