Canada Women's Soccer

Canada's under-17 women's team has lost co-captain Emma Reda to a fractured ulna from a training injury, just ahead of their Group D opener against Nigeria at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco. The 16-year-old midfielder was hurt during a slide tackle, and Ottawa's Felicia Hanisch has been called up as replacement. Coach Jen Herst remains confident in advancing from the group despite the blow.
