Portland Thorns defender Meg Morris has a fractured hip and will be out for the remainder of the season, Thorns coach Mark Parsons said Monday.

Morris fractured her hip in the first half of a game against Western New York on Friday.

Parsons said that the Thorns have notified the NWSL about Morris' injury and could look to add another player to the roster to replace Morris.

"She'll be out for the season," Parsons said. "She's fractured her hip in a very freak way. That's upset us, upset her... It couldn't have happened to a person that has worked harder for her opportunity."

Thorns defender Meghan Klingenberg, who was a late scratch from the starting lineup against Western New York, is expected to be back in the lineup Wednesday when the Thorns face the Chicago Red Stars.

"Kling is looking good," Parsons said. "We expect her to be able to start against Chicago... She just had some back pain that wasn't right and she couldn't go (against Western New York)."

Mana Shim did not travel on Portland's last road trip, Parsons confirmed Monday.

Parsons said that Shim is still working through some things after a tragedy in her family this offseason and the Thorns decided it would be best for her to remain in Portland.

Shim is expected to be in the 18 for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Red Stars, but Parsons said she might not travel for Sunday's game against the Orlando Pride.

"We decided it was best for her to take a breather and stay back home and train here with the non-traveling players and just catch her breath," Parsons said.

Parsons said that Kat Williamson, who is recovering from meniscus surgery, could see her first minutes when the Thorns face Sky Blue on July 2, while Kendall Johnson, who isn't medically cleared, could be back in training within the next three weeks. Still, Parsons said he couldn't give a precise timeline on either Williamson's or Johnson's return to the field.
