The news on Sam Mewis’s injury status continues to not be good.
On Tuesday, the Kansas City Current issued a roster update and indicated that they don’t expect to see the midfielder on the pitch at all in the upcoming 2023 season.
“Midfielders Sam Mewis and Claire Lavogez, along with defender Mallory Weber remain on the Season Ending Injury list, although Lavogez and Weber are expected to return at some point this season,” the update said.
In late January, Mewis said that she would require another operation on a troublesome knee injury that has limited her to just two appearances since the Olympics in the summer of 2021.
The midfielder’s most recent game time came in the Challenge Cup last March.
U.S. national team head coach Vlatko Andonovski has already said that the 30-year-old will play no part in the World Cup this summer.
Mewis played a major role in 2019 as the USWNT won its second consecutive World Cup. The midfielder started five of the team’s seven matches in France, including the final against the Netherlands.
Mewis has earned 83 caps with the USWNT in her career, scoring 24 goals.
