CommBank Matildas and West Ham midfielder Katrina Gorry will miss the remainder of the Women’s Super League (WSL) season after confirming her campaign has been “cut short” due to injury.
Gorry lasted just 21 minutes in the defeat to the WSL giants following a challenge by Melanie Leupolz.

The A-Leagues great attempted to play on but succumbed to an ankle/foot injury, with the two-time Liberty A-League Premiership winner seen on crutches and in a moon boot.
It is a concern for Australia head coach Tony Gustavsson and the CommBank Matildas, not only ahead of next month’s friendly against Mexico but with the 2024 Olympic Games coming up in July.
“Thank you everyone for all your messages. Unfortunately my season with @westhamwomen has been cut short,” Gorry wrote on Instagram.
“I’ve spent the last few days sitting with my emotions and now it’s time to face this next challenge and trust in my body to come back stronger and more in love with the game.”
Gorry made the move to the WSL from Swedish outfit Vittsjo in January.
The 31-year-old has started all seven of her appearances for West Ham in the league, while she also started a match in the Women’s FA Cup.
West Ham are second from bottom in the WSL – six points above Bristol City and the relegation spot.
