Colorado goalkeeper Zack Steffen has knee surgery, expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Zack Steffen had surgery on his right knee on Tuesday and the team said he is expected to be sidelined for four-to-six weeks. Steffen was injured during training with the U.S. national team in Chicago on Wednesday, causing him to miss the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Rapids said the operation was on his right medial meniscus. Steffen lost an opportunity to perhaps regain the U.S. starting spot. The 30-year-old started six of 14 World Cup qualifiers ahead of the 2022 tournament, including the last three, then was left off the World Cup roster by then-coach Gregg Berhalter. Steffen played his first national team match in nearly three years in a January friendly against Costa Rica and coach Mauricio Pochettino said last month that Matt Turner, the starter since 2022, was not assured of being his No. 1 choice for the Gold Cup. Turner didn't play for Crystal Palace after March 1. Matt Freese made his national debut in goal during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Turkey. ___ AP soccer:

Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis welcome baby boy Jagger
Australia's most acclaimed female soccer star, Sam Kerr, and her fiancée, Kristie Mewis, a professional soccer player from the United States, have confirmed the birth of their first child. "Our little man is here, Jagger Mewis-Kerr," the pair said in a joint Instagram post on Thursday. Kerr and Mewis had previously announced the pregnancy last November on social media with a picture showing off Mewis' baby bump. In response, Chelsea Pride, an LGBTIQ+ supporter group affiliated with the men's English Premier League and Women's Super League (WSL) club for which Kerr plays, condemned the abuse as "heartbreaking and infuriating" adding that "homophobia has no place in football". Mewis — who is an acclaimed athlete in her own right and plays for West Ham United as well as the US national team — met Kerr in 2020. They have been a couple since 2021 and became engaged in September 2023.
