Julie Ertz will miss the U.S. women’s soccer team’s two-game series against Mexico in April due to a knee injury she suffered while playing for the national team at the SheBelieves Cup a few weeks ago. The knee had been bothering her before then, and it was aggravated during the March 1 game against Germany.
The U.S. will host its southern neighbor on April 5 in Jacksonville (7 p.m., Fox Sports and Univision Deportes) and April 8 in Houston (1:30 p.m., Fox).
Ertz’s club coach, Rory Dames of the Chicago Red Stars, recently told reporters in Chicago that Ertz is “still a few weeks away” from being able to play.
