Gotham FC Reinstates Midfielder Taryn Torres After ACL Recovery

The NWSL star returns to competition after a season‑ending injury sustained in September 2025.

Gotham FC announced Tuesday that midfielder Taryn Torres has been taken off the National Women's Soccer League's season‑ending injury list, clearing the way for her long‑awaited return to the pitch.

Torres has been sidelined since September 2025, when a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee occurred during a training session. The injury kept her out of action for more than eight months.

A 2021 NWSL Draft pick out of the University of Virginia, she has logged 47 appearances for Gotham FC, starting 22 matches, and has been integral to the club's recent trophy collection.

Her résumé includes two NWSL championships, the Concacaf W Champions Cup and the NWSL Challenge Cup, highlighting the impact she has had since joining the franchise.

Coach remarks emphasized Torres's resilience and the tactical edge her experience and passing range provide, noting that her presence could be decisive in the team's push for another deep playoff run.

A New Chapter

With the injury behind her, Torres is expected to feature in the upcoming fixtures, giving Gotham FC a fresh option in midfield as they aim to defend their recent titles.
