US midfielder Macario to miss World Cup due to long-term injury

The Hindu  

United States attacking midfielder Catarina Macario will not take part in this year’s Women’s World Cup, the Lyon player said on Tuesday as she continues her recovery from a torn ACL. “I’ll be cheering hard for my team mates at the World Cup, and I look forward to dedicating myself to fighting to earn a spot for what I hope will be a long future on the US national team,” said Macario. Macario joins a growing list of top players who will miss the World Cup, with England captain Leah Williamson, Spain’s Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas and France striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto all out of the tournament with ACL injuries. Canada’s Olympic gold medallist Janine Beckie told Reuters last month that more research was needed to tackle the injury crisis, after tearing her ACL in the run-up to the World Cup, which kicks off in Australia and New Zealand on July 20.
