Kansas City Current and United States women’s national team defender Alana Cook tore the ACL, MCL and meniscus in her left knee last week, the Current announced on Thursday.
“Alana has made a big impact for our club on and off the pitch in a short period of time, and our hearts absolutely break for her,” Kansas City head coach Vlatko Andonovski said in a statement.
“Throughout her career, Alana has proven to be determined, resilient and disciplined with an optimistic spirit. We are confident she will carry those same attributes into her recovery process. The team will stand by her every step of the way, and we eagerly await the day she is able to join us on the pitch again.”
Cook has 30 caps with the USWNT. Her consistent form since arriving in Kansas City via a trade last summer earned her a recall to the team in April. She played in one of the matches against Brazil, marking her first international appearance since October 2023.
