ORLANDO, Fla. — Alex Morgan will not play for the rest of the NWSL season for the Orlando Pride. The striker suffered a patella stress reaction in her right knee while playing for the U.S. women’s national team in the World Cup this summer and has been ruled out for the remainder of the year.
Morgan appeared twice for the club since returning from the World Cup, but she was involved in a collision during a match against the Chicago Red Stars that sent her into concussion protocol. After she was cleared, Morgan continued to battle lingering knee pain.
