During the first half of the exhibition game between the USWNT and Ireland, the national team's lead scorer Mallory Swanson suffered an apparent left knee injury that forced her out of the match. The injury occurred in the 40th minute of the game after Swanson made contact with an Irish player, causing her to cry out in pain. As a result, Swanson was carted off the field and was later confirmed to have sustained a left knee injury. The Chicago Red Stars forward was replaced by Trinity Rodman and USWNT went on to win the match 1-0. However, with the Women's World Cup just around the corner, the national team will need to keep an eye on Swanson's condition as she is a crucial member of the squad. During this year alone, the 30-year-old forward scored seven total goals and was on a six-game scoring streak, which tied her for the fourth-longest in team history. Swanson's fans and team members will be eagerly waiting for any further updates regarding her injury.
