Canada\u0027s World Cup hopes took a body blow Friday with news that Janine Beckie has been sidelined by a torn anterior cruciate in her right knee.
“She could probably play right back, right wing, right left wing, midfield, to be honest,” Priestman said in advance of the Brazil game. “I actually think she’s played the 9 and goalkeeper.”
“I think Janine’s true football quality is what makes her so versatile,” Priestman continued. “And then you go and add her athleticism ⦠She’s not only contributing to this team on the pitch but also off the pitch. She’s grown in her leadership and is just an incredible human being.” “There’s a long way to go for Janine. I think that’s the exciting thing,” Priestman said at the SheBelieves Cup. “She probably hasn’t reached her true potential yet, albeit she’s had some incredible performances and been a key contributor to everything this team’s done.”
