Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN DIEGO, July 17 (UPI) -- U.S. soccer's Abby Wambach will miss the Beijing Summer Olympics next month because of a broken leg.
Wambach, who has 99 goals in 127 international games and 13 goals and 10 assists this year, broke both the tibia and fibula in her left leg in a collision with Brazilian defender Andreia Rosa in the first half of Wednesday's exhibition game in San Diego.
Doctors planned to insert a titanium rod into Wambach's leg. She will be out of the lineup for 12 weeks. The Olympics begin in three weeks in China. The first U.S. women's soccer team game is Aug. 6 -- even before the opening ceremonies.
