Alex Morgan left off U.S. women’s soccer team’s Olympic roster, likely ending international run

Alex Morgan was left off the U.S. roster for next month women’s Olympic tournament in France, likely ending one of the most spectacular careers in international soccer history.

Morgan, who will turn 35 next week, ranks among the top 10 in national team history in games (224), goals (123) and assists (53) and is a two-time World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist. But an ankle injury has limited the forward to 213 minutes with her club team, the San Diego Wave, since mid-April and she has no goals and just one assists in eight appearances during the NWSL season.
