New York Red Bulls forward Lewis Morgan never allowed himself to think of an uncertain future after suffering a severe tear of the psoas muscle in his left

“I reinjured myself four or five times in the 2023 season,” Morgan revealed to amNewYork. “And because the injury was so severe and sort of unheard of in football, with a grade 3c psoas tear, that happened a couple of times. I would do all the rehab, and I would do the 8 to 10 weeks or whatever, and then I would get back to training, and then bang, it would just happen again.”
“Once I’d done , I guess it was just a little bit like, cross your fingers, do everything I can as a player, and let’s see if we can get back,” Morgan said. “Football is an industry that moves very, very quick. I knew I’d had a really good year in 2022 and then I would have this thing in the back of my mind that people were always asking about who was going to score goals for this Red Bull team. Who is going to do this? People forget really quick that I was a year removed from being one of the top goal-scorers in the league.
Consider it a piece of silverware that has encompassed the numerous times throughout his decade-plus-long career that Morgan has been knocked to the canvas, but has found a way to rebound. Once a rising star in his home country, Morgan was cut at 16 years old by Rangers — one of Scotland’s most famed clubs. He worked his way back up to the ranks of Celtic, the second of the Scottish giants, but was loaned to English side Sunderland and then sold to Inter Miami.
With this award comes the confirmation of a new mindset, of sorts. After 10 years of grinding to find consistent success in a notable top-flight, league, things about the game became mundane.
