Defender Sydney Collins will not compete for the Canadian women's soccer team at the Paris Olympics after breaking her left leg in a closed-door match against Nigeria in Marbella, Spain, on Wednesday.

The Canadian Olympic Committee announced Saturday that defender Gabrielle Carle of Lévis, Que., will replace Collins on the roster after being selected as an alternate.

Veteran midfielder Desiree Scott of Winnipeg will fill the backup role left vacant by Carle.

Collins was playing his first game since recovering from a broken right leg suffered in February 2024.

Jordyn Huitema of Chilliwack, B.C., scored the lone goal as No. 8 Canada beat No. 36 Nigeria 1-0 in the Olympic warm-up match.

The reigning Olympic champions will begin their title defense on July 25 against New Zealand in Saint-Etienne, France.

“Our thoughts are with Sydney at this difficult time,” head coach Bev Priestman said in a statement. “She has worked incredibly hard to return in time for Paris 2024, and while this is a setback, we know she will come back stronger. She will be with us in spirit every step of the way.”

“With the depth and resilience of our team, we have a forward-thinking mindset, and Gabby and Desiree’s experience will be invaluable to our team’s success.”
