The 23-year-old forward sustained the injury during a collision with US defender Emily Sonnett in the 33rd minute of the 1-0 defeat. Dudinha confirmed the news on social media, stating she will be sidelined for a while.

She had been a standout performer for the Wave this NWSL season with five goals and four assists. Her absence is a significant blow to San Diego, who currently sit atop the table.
