USWNT and Angel City FC forward Christen Press revealed that she suffered a torn ACL during Saturday night’s NWSL game against Racing Louisville.
“My heart is broken: I’ve torn my acl,” Press wrote on Twitter on Monday. “Readily accepting all love, prayers, virtual hugs, dog pics, and smudging ceremonies. Love you all xx”
The 33-year-old striker needed to be helped off the field by the club’s trainer and her teammates in the 64th minute of Angel City’s 3–2 win. She appeared to twist her knee and went to the ground clutching at her leg after scoring a goal and notching an assist earlier in the game.
