Yes, the USWNT is still in the Olympics, they will play next in the Bronze Medal game taking on the Matildas. She injured her right knee in suffering a hyperextension of it and a bone contusion upon landing as she went for the ball. She held strong for some 8 minutes, but on a goal kick it was just too much.
Come Aug. 5, she will not dress, her MRI, thank goodness indicated zero soft tissue damage, she is expected to be out for many weeks.
Alyssa told, "I'm disappointed I won't be able to on the field Thursday with my teammates, competing for a medal, but I know this group will bounce back from a tough loss. I can't wait to watch them fight for a bronze medal and I will be there to support the team in any way I can to help us get it done."
Funny thing the NYPD doctor I went to for a knee injury, a nutritionist, as the SUV I was in was struck by a drunk going through a red light told me I was fine. An MRI done a month after the injury showed a deep bone bruise, he medical advances are amazing. I guess if I had scurvy she may have been able to help me, or not?
