San Diego Wave forward Alex Morgan will miss Saturday's National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) match against Bay FC due to an ankle injury, Wave head coach Casey Stoney confirmed on Thursday.
Morgan sustained the injury in the final minutes of the Wave's recent 1-0 loss to the Orlando Pride. The incident occurred as she challenged for a loose ball in a goal-mouth scramble, resulting in an awkward fall that led to her grabbing her left ankle. Despite eventually standing up and limping off the field, the injury has ruled her out for the upcoming match and will be assessed on a week-by-week basis moving forward.
