Heartbroken Canadian midfielder Desiree Scott said missing the Women's World Cup will be one of the most difficult things she has ever experienced but acknowledged that her injury rehabilitation was not where it needed to be to play her best.
"Heartbroken to know I will not be a part of the World Cup this summer, despite every effort and final push in my rehab process to make it so," Scott posted on Instagram."Missing this tournament will be one of the hardest things I've had to do but if my rehab process has taught me anything it's that I still love this game so much and nothing worth having comes easy. I'll continue to put in the work to get back to being the Destroyer we all know.
"Team - shine bright and go show the world exactly who we are! So much belief in you all! Enjoy every moment of the climb and know all of Canada is behind you!" the 35-year-old wrote.
