Orlando Pride forward Alex Morgan will miss the conclusion of the 2019 National Women’s Soccer League season due to a patella stress reaction in her right knee, the team announced Monday.
The stress fracture stemmed from a prior injury Morgan suffered this summer while with the U.S. Women’s National Team.
The USWNT co-captain responded to the news in an Instagram post shared Monday.
"This year has had the highest of highs but along with that comes challenges and sometimes even falling short of my goals I set for myself in 2019. I’m disappointed I won’t be able to compete with the Pride for the remainder of 2019 due to a knee injury I’ve been managing since the World Cup, and that I can’t be there to help my teammates and my club have more success.
