“[Cascarino] underwent tests in midweek, which … revealed a partial rupture of the correct anterior cruciate ligament,” Lyon stated in a statement. The French club added that the winger will will need to undergo reconstructive surgery and will be out “for quite a few months”.

“Regrettably, I will not be capable to take component in the Globe Cup this summer season with my group mates, whom I will be supporting from right here,” Cascarino stated on Instagram.

France, who are also without having Marie-Antoinette Katoto, will be seeking to win their maiden Globe Cup at this year’s showpiece occasion, which is getting co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia from July 20-Aug. 20.

The U.S. women’s national group, winners of the final two Globe Cups, will be without having forwards Mallory Swanson and Catarina Macario due to knee injuries.

European champions England, meanwhile, will certainly be missing captain Leah Williamson and forward Fran Kirby when Euro 2022 player of the tournament Beth Mead is also unlikely to be match immediately after injuring her ACL final December.
