Alex Morgan was nearly stretchered off the pitch during the Orlando Pride road match against the Chicago Red Stars Wednesday night following a collision, ending her first start since returning from the World Cup abruptly.
Morgan eventually was able to walk to the locker room on her own for further evaluation. She was replaced in the lineup in the 13th minute.
Morgan appeared to have suffered a neck injury after colliding with Chicago defenders Julie Ertz and Sarah Gorden while leaping for a header. Morgan stayed on the pitch for several minutes while talking to trainers, who checked on her neck mobility.
