NEW YORK: An increasingly gruelling schedule could be behind the rash of injuries that have sidelined top talent ahead of the Women's World Cup, former US forward Carli Lloyd told Reuters.

Lloyd, who earned a staggering 316 caps, the third-most in international women's football, during her more than 15-year career, was not immune to injuries, notably breaking her ankle in 2010.
"I don't think that players are actually training enough because what happens is, when you're playing three games in a week, you're playing the game, you're taking off, you're recovering, you're playing in another game - so you're not getting any type of load in so you can build toward the game."
