Alex Morgan will miss the rest of the Orlando Pride's National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season after suffering a patella stress reaction in her right knee.
The 30-year-old picked up the injury while playing for the U.S. Women's national team during their triumphant summer, but it has flared up during the back end of the Pride's domestic campaign.
Morgan spoke of her rollercoaster season, which included a World Cup victory for her nation in France, and she promised to return next season after beginning her rehabilitation.
"This year has had the highest of highs but along with that comes challenges and sometimes even falling short of my goals I set for myself in 2019," Morgan wrote on Instagram.
