SANFORD, Fla. — Midfielder Emily van Egmond will miss the rest of the NWSL season with the Orlando Pride after suffering an ankle injury during the World Cup.
Van Egmond started all four games for Australia during the team’s run in the World Cup. She hurt her left ankle during those games and pain lingered when she returned to Orlando and rejoined the Pride.
The midfielder tried to muscle through the pain for several weeks, playing a full 90 minutes against Washington and Portland. After hiding the injury for almost a month, however, she told the club about it.
