Veterans Diana Matheson, Erin McLeod ruled out of World Cup squad through injury
TORONTO — Veteran midfielder Diana Matheson and goalkeeper Erin McLeod, who have a combined 321 caps for Canada, have been ruled out of the World Cup through injury.
Both players have been integral to the Canadian women’s success over the years — McLeod made her senior debut in 2002 and Matheson in 2003. Both have also endured a long list of health issues.
Matheson is currently dealing with a toe injury that requires surgery while McLeod is dealing with foot pain due to plantar fasciitis.
