Macario will be replaced by forward Lynn Williams, who was originally named as an alternate and participated in the Tokyo Games.
United States women's national team midfielder/forward Catarina Macario will miss the Paris Olympics this summer due to a minor irritation in her right knee, coach Emma Hayes announced on Friday. She will be replaced by forward Lynn Williams, who was originally named as an alternate and participated in the Tokyo Games. Defender ≈ will be added as an alternate. 'She's devastated,' said Hayes, who coached Macario at Chelsea.
Macario, 24, made her valiant return to play during the SheBelives Cup in April — her first appearance for the USWNT in 641 days — and talked about how emotional coming back was for her. 'It just really felt like a dream,' Macario said then. 'There were so many emotions there. I obviously knew that I had been working towards that for a while, but I think probably the biggest thing was getting over that mental hurdle that was like, ‘OK, I'm safe. I'm good to play again.
