Racing Louisville placed goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer on the 45-day injured list, the club announced Wednesday.
Bloomer underwent back surgery on Tuesday.
“We are disappointed for Jordyn, and we will support her every step of the way to ensure a thorough recovery,” said Racing general manager Ryan Dell. “We know she will come back stronger than ever.”
The 25-year-old Bloomer returned to Louisville in March following a five-month loan spell with Western Sydney Wanderers FC in Australia’s A-League Women. She made 14 appearances for Western Sydney, posting four clean sheets.
Bloomer has made one start for Racing, serving as the No. 1 goalkeeper in Louisville’s 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup finale against the Houston Dash. The Wisconsin grad was the 26th overall pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft, one of two second-round selections for Racing.
With Bloomer on the injured list, Racing’s available goalkeepers include regular starter Katie Lund and reserve Olivia Sekany. Hillary Beall, who spent the winter on loan with Western United FC in Australia, is due to return to Louisville soon.
