The American football player Mia Fishel will be out of the US women’s national team squad for the Concacaf W Gold Cup. The American forward suffered an ACL tear in her right knee during training and will be replaced by Alex Morgan.
“I’m gutted for Mia, and I know the team and the entire staff is as well. She’s been very effective in camp and has worked hard to make an impact. Since she’s been getting call-ups to the National Team, she’s shown a tremendous growth mindset, a desire to absorb information and has been a total team player. I know she’ll come back strong and hopefully be in the mix for the next World Cup”, said the US interim head coach Twila Kilgore. “As we start this tournament, we’re fortunate to be able to add a player like Alex to the roster. Her accomplishments speak for themselves, she’s been training extremely hard with the Wave in preseason, and I know she’ll be more than ready to contribute in this tournament”, added she.
Mia Fishel had just been getting going with the US women’s national football team, earning her first call-up in 2020 and her first international appearances toward the end of last year.
