Mia Fishel has thanked the United States women’s national team and Chelsea Women’s medical teams following her “successful” knee injury yesterday [March 11].
Fishel, whose father is Bermudian, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury last month while training with the US team on the eve of the Concacaf W Gold Cup.
The Chelsea forward wrote on Instagram: “I’d like to thank my management and medical teams for a successful surgery today.
“Also, I want to thank the US national women’s team and Chelsea Women for their unwavering support during this critical time.
“Nonetheless, I have some new and exciting projects for 2024 and look forward to sharing a more personal side of Mia. Recovery begins, and we keep swimming!”
Fishel, who was born in San Diego, California, joined Chelsea from Mexican club Tigres on a three-year contract in August last year, scoring once in ten appearances in the Women’s Super League this season.
She made her senior US debut as a substitute in a win over South Africa in September last year.
