Portland Thorns midfielder and USWNT player Olivia Moultrie is placed on the season-ending injury list after tearing her ACL during NWSL training. Yahoo Sports and The Guardian report the injury occurs while she is training with the Thorns.
The outlets add that Moultrie injures her right knee. The Guardian states the Thorns announce she is out for the season and that she is likely to miss the upcoming Concacaf W Championship. Yahoo Sports frames the move as a major setback during an otherwise strong season for the 20-year-old.
Both accounts situate the incident in the context of a productive NWSL campaign and Moultrie’s role with the US national team, but they differ slightly in emphasis—Yahoo focuses on the need for recovery after the ACL tear, while The Guardian also highlights her likely absence from the regional tournament.
