US Captain Becky Sauerbrunn Ruled Out of 2023 World Cup With Foot Injury

Becky Sauerbrunn, a veteran leader and advocate for the USWNT, will miss the 2023 World Cup due to injury.
The USWNT will rely on younger, less experienced players to fill the void in defense left by Sauerbrunn's absence.
The USWNT has faced multiple injuries leading up to the World Cup, forcing players into bigger roles.
The USWNT begins its World Cup title defense on July 21 against Vietnam.
Sauerbrunn's leadership and talent will be missed as the USWNT aims for an unprecedented third straight World Cup.
