United States Women's National Team midfielder Sam Coffey is recovering after undergoing minor knee surgery earlier this week, her club team, Manchester City, announced Friday.
Manchester City didn't elaborate on the nature of Coffey's injury or the surgery. The team said Coffey would 'work on recovery over the summer.'
Coffey, 27, left the NWSL's Portland Thorns for Manchester City on an $875,000 transfer fee in January. She played in 10 games and helped Manchester City win the Women's Super League Championship.
Coffey has scored five goals in 46 matches for the USWNT and is one of the team leaders. She helped the squad win the gold medal in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Coffey will miss games against Brazil on June 6 and June 9. She is expected to be fully recovered before World Cup qualifying begins in November.
Coffey played four seasons (2022-25) in Portland and had five goals and 17 assists in 98 matches. She helped the Thorns win the NWSL title in 2022.
