Key member of the USWNT and Washington Spirit, Andi Sullivan has suffered a terrible ACL tear just weeks before the NWSL playoffs begin. Sullivan was stretchered off in stoppage time during the Spirit’s Sunday night game against Orlando Pride.
Since then, the Spirit have verified that the midfielder has been added to the season-ending injury list (SEI), so Sullivan will miss the whole 2024 season as well as the much awaited playoffs. Since Sullivan has been a vital component of the midfield, this is a major loss for the club as well as the U.S. national team.
Her absence will most definitely be noticed as Washington Spirit enters the playoffs without one of its most important players. Usually requiring a significant recovery time, ACL injuries call for her comeback to action to be unknown right now.
