Hope Solo, Seattle Reign goalkeeper, surprised the soccer world today by alerting us to the news that she has had her right shoulder replaced for the second time. Solo broke the news in a Facebook post.
One statement from Solo's post was particularly surprising: "For the first time in years, I can raise my right arm above my head." There have been many complaints that Jill Ellis started Hope Solo no matter what, and knowing that she had limited motion makes Ellis' decision even more surprising.
This isn’t the first time that Solo has had her shoulder worked on.
