Melissa Tancredi ankle injury Team Canada Women's Soccer 2008 Olympics
Mellissa Tancredi sustained an ankle injury in the first half of Team Canada's Women's Soccer at the 2008 Olympics.
Midway through the first half she seemed to roll her ankle in the argentine box. Current update Melissa Tancredi is in pain but no word yet as to the extent of the ankle injury. Team Canada leads Argentina 1 to 0 in the first half of the first soccer match of the 2008 Olympics.
The victory did not come without a cost, though; Melissa Tancredi, a key forward and Canada’s most physical presence on the front line, left after just 41 minutes with an apparent left ankle injury. She was knocked down in the penalty area in front of the Argentina goal in about the 19th minute, left the pitch for a few minutes to have the ankle treated and returned. But the injury became too much to handle about 10 minutes later and she left the game for good.
