Sam Mewis a doubt for the 2023 World Cup following second surgery on injured knee

It seems that if the USWNT is going to three-peat as World Cup Champions they will need to do it without midfielder Sam Mewis. The Kansas City Current player posted on Twitter that the knee that she had surgery on in 2021 required another operation last week.

Mewis underwent the first operation after the Olympics in 2021 and spent much of that year rehabilitating it. At this point there isn’t a timeline for her return but it’s clear she is set for a lengthy recovery and it seems like she will miss the World Cup this summer.
