Earlier this afternoon, Utah Royals FC Forward Brittany Ratcliffe announced via Instagram that she will miss “much of this upcoming NWSL season” due to tearing her ACL. Many injuries to the ACL require surgery. Recovery is usually expected to be between six and nine months, but it may not be the same for everyone.

Fans and teammates have shown support, commenting on her Instagram post and on Twitter. Gunny Jonsdottir commented “Can’t wait to have you back!” while Sydney Miramontez said, “The comeback is always stronger than the Setback! Love you homie.”

When the injury was announced, many of us were shocked and saddened to hear she is likely out for the year. The reaction of Marcus represents many of our thoughts.

This is a sad day.... # 25 Ratcliffe we love you. @UtahRoyalsFC @CourtofRoyals pic.twitter.com/byedKPASlV — Marcus AKA the Court Exile ⚽ ⚽ (@UTMarcus) April 16, 2019

To show support, The Court has decided to do a chant in the 25th minute of the match on Saturday against the Washington Spirit. If you want to join in, the chant is simple.
