Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic will be leaving the Portland Thorns this year after a season and a half with the team. Crnogorcevic has been placed on the NWSL re-entry wire, according to the league’s website.
Crnogorcevic joined up with a Thorns team in the middle of a severe injury crisis in 2018 and she came over with a serious pedigree: the top scorer in the history of the Swiss national team and a long and productive career in the Frauen Bundesliga seemed to indicate that she was being brought to the club to solve the problem at striker after Caitlin Foord’s long-term injury in the offseason.
