Wearing Forced Off By Early Injury in Scotland U23s Win - Ipswich Town News
Ipswich Town Women’s centre-half Megan Wearing suffered a knock in only the fourth minute as Scotland’s U23s beat Iceland 2-1 in Falkirk this afternoon.
Wearing collided with teammate Georgia Brown as they sought to deal with a high ball, taking a blow to the chest. After treatment on the pitch for three minutes, she made her way to the touchline in obvious pain and was replaced.
The 20-year-old was only added to the squad over the weekend for the second of two friendlies against the Icelanders, the first having ended 2-2 on Thursday.
It was her second call-up at U23 level having been in the squad for a friendly tournament in Spain in March.
Prior to that, Wearing had won 10 caps with the U19s, who she also skippered.
