Portland Thorns midfielder Olivia Moultrie has been placed on the season-ending injury list because of an ACL injury, the National Women's Soccer League team announced Tuesday.
Moultrie, who also plays for the U.S. national team, injured her right knee during training last week, the team said.
“Heartbroken doesn't even begin to sum up all of the feelings right now,” Moultrie posted to Instagram. “To be taken away from something you love more than anything is a feeling I never wanted to experience. I know there is a reason this path has been chosen for me and I can't promise everything but I can promise I'll be back and I'll be better.”
Moultrie, 20, had five goals and five assists for the Thorns this season. She signed with Portland in 2021 after she successfully sued the NWSL over a rule prohibiting teams from signing players under 18.
“Olivia is one of the most driven players I have been around, and she will use that drive during her recovery and rehabilitation,” Jeff Agoos, president and general manager of the Thorns, said in a statement released by the team. “She has our full support and every resource this club can put behind her."
Moultrie has made 18 appearances for the United States, with five goals. She was named the U.S. Soccer Young Player of the Year in 2023.
Moultrie will likely miss the CONCACAF W Championship, which serves as qualifying for next summer's Women's World Cup.

Free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold is set to visit the New York Giants on Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the workout had not been announced.
Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in late June after the Detroit Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
He visited New Orleans and reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle already this week and reportedly has also met with Houston. The Schultz Report was the first to report Arnold meeting with the Giants, who are dealing with injuries in their secondary.
Arnold has played in 25 NFL games, counting the playoffs, since the Lions took him with the 24th pick of the first round of the 2024 draft out of Florida State.
In June, prosecutors in Florida said Arnold arranged for the men to be pistol-whipped after he wrongly suspected them of stealing $100,000 in cash and luxury goods from him. Police called him the “primary conspirator” in the Feb. 4 attack, and a judge set his bail at $1 million.
Defense attorney R. Timothy Jansen said in Hillsborough County court earlier this summer that Arnold is “absolutely denying these allegations.” Denise White, the CEO of EAG Sports Management, an agency that represents Arnold, said there’s “no credible evidence” against him, only accounts from others who may have an incentive to get a lighter sentence.
In March, Detroit coach Dan Campbell said the team believed Arnold was not involved in the alleged crime based on the information they had at that time.
The charges carry a sentence of up to life in prison.
