While there's no good time to injure yourself, this horrific collision happened just months before the upcoming World Cup.

The USWNT did go on to win the game 2-0, but fans around the world are more concerned about Swanson and what the injury means for the talented star.

Here is what the internet is saying and how concerned her fans are about her fate at the World Cup in July.

Feel so horrible for Mallory Swanson. There's never a "good time" for a serious knee injury, but this timing is the absolute cruelest, for both her and the #USWNT.

She was developing into a world class player, and was ready to showcase that at the World Cup.

Just so unfair.

Ugh. Mallory Swanson — easily the #USWNT’s best player this year to date — looks to have seriously injured her knee three months before the World Cup.

Mallory Swanson has been inevitable, a force, she’s been HER. Hoping and praying she’s okay and healthy, especially for the World Cup.
