Alex Morgan lasted just 17 minutes into Olympique Lyonnais’ Champions League final clash with Paris Saint-Germain. She was in the starting lineup just weeks after a left hamstring injury against, once again, PSG. Lyon beat PSG in that game 3-0, but Morgan had to go out in the 41’. That was May 13; now, less than three weeks later, Morgan and Lyon took their chances starting her in a front line with Ada Hegerberg and Eugenie Le Sommer.
Lyon were off to a bright start, dominating PSG through the early stages of the first half, but Morgan was forced to sit down in the 18’ and call on the trainers.
