The leading scorer on the US Olympic soccer team Abby Wambach, will have to watch her team compete from the sidelines. The 28-year-old Rochester native broke her left tibia and fibula last night during the first half of a match with Brazil. She will have surgery on the leg and be off for 12 weeks, missing the Beijing Games.

The Brazil-US match was a final tune-up for the team prior to going to Beijing. Despite Wambach’s injury, the United States won 1-0.
