As I posted here last month, Ali Krieger expected to be called into this month’s U.S. women’s national team camp along with these guys, a group that includes the Washington Freedom’s Abby Wambach.
However, it the midst of her holiday rehab work from a previous injury that had kept her off the field for most of the fall, Krieger broke her foot. She told me she’s having surgery this week and expects to be sidelined for two months, and that she’s keeping U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage informed.
Speaking of the Freedom, I’m working on finding out exactly why Cat Whitehill wasn’t invited to camp. She has been living and rehabbing from her own injury in Durham, N.C. Via our friends at the Freedom, Whitehill has been cleared to play but in talking it over with Pia, they both decided it would be best for her not to rush back and jeopardize her WPS season or career…
