On Sept. 30, 2017, 32 minutes into the match Orlando Pride fans watched in despair as Camila Martins Pereira was stretchered off the pitch.
In her sophomore season in the NWSL, the 23-year-old most commonly known as Camila, had become a staple for the Orlando Pride, appearing in all 24 regular-season matches.
The dependability and creativity the young Brazilian brought to the team came to a screeching halt against the North Carolina Courage in the final match of the regular season.
As the Pride prepared for their first-ever playoff appearance, Camila received the news that she was diagnosed with a torn ACL and sprained MCL in her right knee.
