JUST IN: Highlands Ranch native Mallory Pugh had to be carted off in the first half with an apparent left knee injury during Saturday’s United States Women’s National Team game against Ireland.
United States forward Mallory Swanson goes down with an injury during the first half of an international friendly soccer match against Ireland in Austin, Texas, Saturday, April 8, 2023. Highlands Ranch native Mallory Pugh had to be carted off in the first half with an apparent left knee injury during Saturday’s United States Women’s National Team game against Ireland in Austin, Texas.
The injury came late in the first half after she collided with Irish defender Aoife Mannon, and immediately grabbed her left knee, according to The Athletic’s Meg Linehan. Per Linehan, Swanson, a striker who has been in phenomenal form on the U.S. team, was placed into a medical cart and was driven off. From there, Swanson was transported to a local hospital for immediate evaluation.
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is less than four months away and pending the severity of the injury, Swanson could still be poised to be an instrumental player for the USWNT. The Real Colorado product has scored six goals in four games and also has one goal for her club team, the Chicago Red Stars, this year.
With a World Cup less than 4 months away, the USWNT’s most in form player of 2023 Mal Swanson is carted off with what looks like a potentially serious injury. Devastating for Mal and the USWNT. Fingers crossed that it’s not as bad as it looks. 🙏 🇺🇸
