U.S.’s Morgan sprains ankle, out of CONCACAF Championship

Alex Morgan will be sidelined for four-to-six weeks because of a left ankle sprain and will miss the remainder of the CONCACAF Women’s Championship. Morgan reinjured her ankle in a group-stage victory over Guatemala on Friday night, just four months after returning to action following a long layoff. An MRI on Saturday confirmed the sprain. There was no additional injury, the U.S. Soccer Federation said. The United States leads its group at the CONCACAF championship with 2-0 record and faces Haiti on Monday at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The top three finishers in the tournament earn a spot in next year’s World Cup. – AP
