Catarina Macario, the brightest young star in U.S. women’s soccer until she suffered a torn ACL last June, said Tuesday that she will miss this summer’s World Cup while continuing to recover from the injury.
Macario, now 23, said in a statement that, “while I’m excited and super optimistic about my future as a footballer, I’m sad to share that I won’t be physically ready for selection to our U.S. World Cup team.”
This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
