Sydney Leroux played in just three games with Angel City FC last season before getting shut down with an ankle injury. She made her 2023 debut last Monday and scored a goal.
Sydney Leroux was traded to Angel City FC last season, but after making her debut, she was sidelined with an ankle injury.Monday, Leroux finally made her way back to the field as she entered against the Chicago Red Stars in the 76th minute and in the 88th minute, she would score her first goal for Angel City.
“It’s been an emotional year,” she said following the game. “I didn’t really know if I would be able to put on this jersey again and be able to play the way that I know I can play. “So to come on, to feel like I’m back, to not have any issues, and to play without pain, to be honest, was really special. I felt like I was ready months ago, but that’s not smart. I just wanted to play, I just wanted to give back. I came here last year and there was this big hope around me being able to make difference in this team and I was unable to do that. So I think for me, it was getting back to my team, the fans, people who believed in me.
“I didn’t really know about the severity of my injury, so when I found out that it was a possibility of me having to learn how to walk, nevermind playing soccer again, I was scared,” she said. “I feel like I’ve been scared for a long time and coming back from an injury, no one really talks about the mental part and the mental toll that it takes and there were some really hard times for sure.
“I didn’t know if I could do this again and then I was like, I had these two and I came back, so if I can come back from them, I can come back from anything and that was true.”
