USWNT and NWSL great Kelley O’Hara is officially on Gotham FC’s season-ending injury list due to “chronic knee degeneration,” the club announced on Saturday.
Set to retire at the end of this season, the news means O’Hara played her last pro match on September 8th. Gotham will toast O’Hara’s decorated career on October 20th, when they face Orlando for their final regular-season home game.
Gotham and KC punch tickets to NWSL playoffs
With four of eight 2024 NWSL playoff spots now accounted for, No. 3 Gotham FC and No. 4 Kansas City punched their tickets to the postseason this weekend.
The Current made their postseason statement on Friday, taking down the visiting No. 2 Washington Spirit 3-0 behind Golden Boot race leader Temwa Chawinga’s 16th goal.
Notably, the Spirit’s loss saw star Trinity Rodman exiting the match with a visibly intense back spasm in the 75th minute. Afterwards, Lena Silano was dealt a red card in second-half stoppage time.
Then on Sunday, Gotham secured their postseason berth with a tidy 1-0 win over last-place Utah in New Jersey.
