KANSAS CITY (August 5, 2022) — The Kansas City Current announced today that midfielder Sam Mewis has been placed on the team’s season-ending injury list and will miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign.

Although she won't be able to contribute on the field for the balance of this season, she is an invaluable asset to this team and contributes daily to our success. We will continue to support her in every way possible.” said General Manager Camille Levin Ashton.
