Torn ACL knocks Canada’s Janine Beckie out of Women’s World Cup | CBC Sports

Canadian soccer star Janine Beckie is out of this summer’s Women’s World Cup after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee.

The 28-year-old winger will have surgery in the coming weeks to repair the season-ending injury, her NWSL team Portland Thorns said Friday in a statement.

Beckie sustained the injury Wednesday in the Thorns’ pre-season 4-1 win over the U.S. women’s under-23 team.

More to come.
