On the first day of Sky Blue FC’s off season, Monday, September 26, forward Tasha Kai underwent arthroscopic surgery on her left ankle. The surgery was to clean up her ankle after a series of “nagging” injuries suffered throughout the duration of the season.
In a statement released by the team Monday afternoon, it was said that no timetable for Kai’s recovery had been given. However, Kai’s instagram post from earlier in the day suggested that there may be an extended recovery period required, as she used the hashtag #longroadtorecovery in the post.
The post also suggested that this is just the first of a series of surgeries, as another hashtag, #decemberwillbemysecondsurgery, was also used on the post.
