Emily Sonnett, Gotham FC and Portland Thorns
Friday
United States defender Emily Sonnett was stretchered off early in Gotham FC’s 2-2 draw with Portland Thorns after a suspected left knee injury. She went down after planting her foot on the artificial turf in Portland.
Gotham said Sonnett will undergo further evaluation in New Jersey, while team-mates described the injury as scary and unsettling. Her absence would be a major blow because she anchors the NWSL’s best defence this season.
