Gotham FC captain Tierna Davidson tore her ACL and will not play for the U.S. women's national soccer team in Saturday's game against Brazil.
Davidson, 26, went down during a match against the Houston Dash on Friday, grabbing her left leg in noncontact play as she attempted to block an opposing player. She cried as she walked off the field before halftime, prompting concern from spectators.
Gotham announced Wednesday that Davidson injured her left ACL and has been placed on the season-ending injury list just three games into the season.
Yael Averbuch West, Gotham's general manager, said the team was "heartbroken" for the captain.
"Our club will do everything we can to support her through this recovery and rehabilitation process," West said. "We know she will come back stronger than ever."
