Abby Smith has suffered a strained ACL and torn patellar tendon, which will take her out of the rest of the season for the Boston Breakers. She appears to be looking at approximately six months of recovery time.
Smith landed awkwardly in a non-contact injury in last weekend's game against the Chicago Red Stars, seen in the 29' here.
"Losing Abby is a blow, purely and simply because she came in and did really well against Portland and Chicago. It's disappointing for her because she got herself into the team with Libby's [Stout] injury," said head coach Matt Beard via team press release.
