He's set for an MRI in order to find out the extent of the injury.

The Morning Footy crew discuss Wilfried Nancy's post-match press conference after his club's 4-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders where he expressed a great deal of frustration in regard to the MLS call-up rules. As of now, MLS only allows four short-term contracts in one season. This is a problem for a side like Columbus who is playing an extraordinary amount of matches this campaign. Is he justified in his frustration? Tom Bogert, CBS Sports MLS Insider is welcomed in to weigh in on the matter as well.

The Morning Footy crew discuss Alex Morgan's final professional soccer match that took place over the weekend. After suddenly announcing her retirement as well as delivering the news she was pregnant with her second child, she stated that his past Sunday's match would be her last. She played just 13min and did have an attempt at goal from the PK spot, which ultimately was saved by NC Courage goalkeeper and USWNT teammate Casey Murphy. However, that did not damper any good vibes as she took her shoes off in the center circle to a standing ovation and hugs from her teammates when just before she ultimately was subbed off. Incredible scenes to match an incredible career both on and off the field.

The Morning Footy crew breakdown the USMNT loss to Canada this past Saturday. It's the first time that the US has lost a match to their northern neighbors on home soil in over 60 years. It also was the first match under interim head coach Mickey Varas as the Mauricio Pochettino deal has yet to be officially finalized. One positive note, Lucas De La Torre scored his first international goal for the US in what was his 23rd cap for his country. But questions remain. How can the key players improve? What went wrong for the US? Morning Footy is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

The Morning Footy crew react to the news that Cole Palmer has been omitted from the Chelsea squad competing in the Conference League. Part of the reason for his omission is load management considering there are an unbelievable amount of games these players and clubs are now competing in. There is an opportunity however for him to be a part of the Conference League squad later on as clubs are able to submit new rosters when it comes time for the knockout rounds. Is this a smart move to leave Palmer out at least for the time being?

The Morning Footy take a deep dive into the dominance that is the Columbus Crew and ask the question, "Where do they rank amongst the best MLS sides?" They also discuss the notable club eras from MLS history. Then, the question, "Which would be the bigger loss, Cucho or Nancy?" Will this run and approach by the Crew franchise inspire change in other MLS sides? And can they repeat as MLS Cup Champions this season?

He achieved his 900th goal during Portugal's Nations League victory over Croatia. 131 of those 900 goals have come playing for his country of Portugal.

The Morning Footy crew preview this weekend's USMNT friendly against Canada. This is the first of two friendlies in the September window for the US. They have a record of 12W 8D 2L in the last 22 matches against said opponent. One big question is, "Can Jesse Marsch topple the US?" Since taking over Canada in May he has 1W 4D 3L. He did lead Canada to a 4th place finish at Copa América this summer. Another problem for the US is that Gio Reyna left camp with a groin injury. How big of a blow is that to the USMNT?

In a heartfelt social media post, she made said announcement as well as revealed that she is currently pregnant with her second child.

The Morning Footy crew react to the news that Turkish club Galatasaray has officially announced Victor Osimhen is joining on a season-long loan. Arguably the biggest signing ever of a player 'in their prime." This is big for club and also for Osimhen who found himself caught out by Napoli after the signing of Lukaku. Osimhen had been previously linked to a number of big clubs including Real Madrid, Chelsea, and even a possible move to the Saudi league. But none of which came to fruition. He had been left off the Napoli's list of registered players which meant he wouldn't have been able to play for the club until January had he stayed.

The Morning Footy crew react to the devastating news that NWSL rookie-standout Croix Bethune has suffered a season ending injury after throwing out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals baseball game. She just won a Gold Medal at the Olympics with the USWNT and also tied the single-season assists record previously held only by Tobin Heath. With 7 games left in the season, she was bound to break said record and was a shoe-in for Rookie of the Year. A terrible injury not only for Croix, but for the fans of the game as well as the Washington Spirit who currently sit second in the standings and a front runner to win the NWSL title this season.

The Morning Footy crew react to the 2024 Ballon d'Or list of nominees, from the surprises to the snubs. The group debate who's missing and who shouldn't be on said list. There appears to be no clear cut favorite to win this year and it also marks the first time both Messi and Ronaldo have not been in the running since 2003. So this mean we'll have a guaranteed first time winner for the men. On the women's side, the discussion surrounding the nominees has all been about someone not on said list, arguably the world's best defender, Naomi Girma. A stark omission and oversight for sure.
