The 28 -year-old is a gold medalist at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and has scored 36 goals in 101 appearances for Canada .

" Working hard in the offseason, what will be one of the biggest seasons of my career, defending the title for the Thorns and of course playing the World Cup in Canada, a long absence is a tough pill to swallow.
" I have supported my team-mates this season for club and country and needless to say I will be better and stronger than ever! "
Heavy blow
Becky 's injury is a severe blow for Canada, who are looking to win their maiden World Cup at this year's World Cup, which is co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia from July 20 to August 20 .
