ORLANDO, Fla. - Following an injury sustained while on loan with Lexington Sporting Club, Orlando Pride forward Amanda Allen's loan with the USL Super League has been terminated and Allen has been placed on the Season Ending Injury list, it was announced today. Allen sustained a torn labrum in her right shoulder on Nov. 21 with Lexington and will undergo surgery in the coming weeks at Orlando Health, the Club's official medical team.
"This is an unfortunate situation for Amanda, as she was gaining valuable experience and meaningful match minutes with Lexington, but we are confident she will come back a stronger athlete following this setback," VP of Soccer Operations and Sporting Director Haley Carter said. "We, along with our partners at Orlando Health, are fully behind her and will support her throughout the entire recovery process and want to help get Amanda back to the field as soon and as safely as possible."
Since joining the Pride prior to the 2023 season, Allen has appeared in 17 matches and earned one assist across all competitions.
