The announcement is a major blow to Canada's chances of finishing on the podium again at this summer's Olympics.
If the Canadian women's national team want to win a second Olympic medal, they will have to do so without keeper Erin McLeod. The Canadian Soccer Association confirmed today that McLeod will miss this summer's games with an ACL tear.
This injury occurred during a Champions League semi-final match last month, when McLeod was representing FC Rosengard. This is the second injury that McLeod has suffered this year.
The injury is a big blow to the Canadian team, as McLeod is a core player for the national team.
