U.S. Defender Ali Krieger Tears ACL and MCL in Right Knee

thrace-:

Krieger, who fell victim to a reckless tackle, will be sidelined for 6-8 months and will likely miss the London Olympic Games should the USA qualify. A date for Krieger’s surgery has not been set.

The U.S. will not be able to replace her on the Olympic Qualifying roster as teams cannot make changes once the tournament has started.

“I feel so unfortunate and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, especially to have it happen in a match where we were in control,” Krieger said. “Soccer is a funny game and this is part of being an athlete. It’s unfortunate that the timing is really bad, but this team is about way more than one player and I know with all the support from my teammates, my family and friends and from U.S. Soccer, I will come back stronger than ever. It’s going to be a fun year and I’ll be with the team in spirit the whole way, even if I have to be a vocal leader, just sitting and watching.”

Commence weeping.
