Overview

• Chawinga went down without contact in the first half, was carried off without putting weight on her right leg, and was wheeled to the locker room.
• Head coach Vlatko Andonovski said she was undergoing an MRI postmatch and indicated the injury was to the upper leg rather than the knee, with no diagnosis or timeline yet.
• Nichelle Prince came on as her replacement, and Andonovski said Chawinga had been planned for 60 minutes after recent knee-managed minutes, calling the incident a freak accident.
• Houston defeated Kansas City 1-0, handing the Shield winners their third loss of the season and keeping the Dash’s playoff hopes alive.
• Chawinga leads the NWSL Golden Boot race with 15 goals, and her status now factors into the Current’s postseason planning after a record-setting regular season.
