U.S. soccer star Mallory Swanson suffered a torn patella tendon in her left knee near the end of the first half of Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Ireland, an injury that typically requires at least six months of rehabilitation.
In announcing the severity of the injury Sunday, the U.S. Soccer Federation did not say she would miss this summer’s World Cup, but with the opener in three-plus months, Swanson is a near certainty to remain sidelined.Swanson’s spot on the training camp roster will be taken by forward Alyssa Thompson in time for Tuesday’s friendly in St. Louis, also to be played against Ireland.
Sixteen minutes earlier, Swanson was treated for several minutes for an apparent head injury after colliding with the goalkeeper. She was cleared to return, Coach Vlatko Andonovski said Saturday. In Swanson’s absence, Andonovski will probably turn to Trinity Rodman, 20, or Megan Rapinoe, 37, to start on the left wing. Rodman replaced Swanson on Saturday; Rapinoe wasn’t available for this camp because of a calf injury. Thompson and Lynn Williams are also in the mix.
