(Reuters) - Canada and Portland Thorns forward Janine Beckie will miss this year's Women's World Cup after she confirmed on Friday that she has torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee.
In a statement on their website, reigning National Women's Soccer League champions Thorns said Beckie will miss the remainder of the 2023 season and added that she will"have surgery in the coming weeks to repair the injury."
"Heartbroken is an understatement," Beckie, who has also played for Manchester City and Houston Dash, said in a post on Instagram. "I'll be supporting my team mates for both club and country this season and it goes without saying I'll be back better and stronger than ever!"
