This is bloody terrible news! 

Awful news. She'll be devastated. 

Jeez, that’s rough. She was only a couple of weeks away from returning

Bloody hell, that terrible.  Is it simple genetics or bad surgeon, if its the same knee ?

Different knee, apparently.

I have read that women on their period have a higher percentage chance of doing their ACL.. I thought it was witchdoctor science, but apparently its being backed up by evidence on the injuries.  Do we need to change some practices, esp for someone like Sloane in their preparation and conditioning?

I'm going to gut a chicken and get back to you with the correct answer.

This is just cruel. I’m devastated for her.

When you say "apparently its being backed up by evidence on the injuries" can you give specific details about this ?

Sad news, 3 in 3 years is just rotten luck

Thanks, as I said it was surprising as how that would make the ligaments more susceptible to injury, but it does somehow!

It may be connected to relaxin, a hormone that amongst other things relaxes ligaments in preparation for childbirth - its concentration rises and falls with the menstrual cycle.

David Schwarz must have also been on his period.

This is just awful news for Shae, fingers crossed she gets a final crack at it.

Very sad/tough news.

What mental strength she must have through all this.

Because people are focusing on the fact that she is a woman more than she is a footballer.
