(Winnipeg, Manitoba)  --  Portland Thorns forward Alex Morgan was out of the US Women's Team lineup during their 3-1 victory over Australia in the team's World Cup opener.  The speedy 25-year-old, who has 51 goals in 84 international appearances, has a bone bruise in her left knee and hasn't played in a match since Portland's National Women's Soccer League opener on April 11th.  Morgan sat out nine games with the Thorns last season because of a left ankle sprain.
