Angel City’s Savy King has been released from the hospital following heart surgery after collapsing on the soccer field earlier this month. The incident halted the game and left her teammates visibly distressed.

The team announced that King, a 20-year-old defender, was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is now at home with her family, “resting comfortably” following the procedure. They expressed gratitude to the medical center for the exceptional care provided to King and reiterated their commitment to supporting her and her family during her recovery.

The team said last week that her prognosis is “excellent.” It was not immediately clear whether and when she will return to soccer.

“I’m still trying to find the words to convey just how much your love and support have meant to me over these past few days,” King shared on Instagram. “What I do know is that I couldn’t have come through this without my incredible family’s support, my amazing teammates who have stood by me and prayed for me, the fans, the entire soccer community, and the exceptional medical team here at ACFC who saved my life and have taken care of me every step of the way.”

King collapsed on the field in the 74th minute of Angel City’s National Women’s Soccer League match against the Utah Royals on May 9. Trainers rushed to her side before she was taken off the field on a stretcher and then to the hospital.

While she was being evaluated, doctors discovered a heart abnormality, prompting surgery Tuesday to remedy the problem, the team said last week.

No other information about the abnormality and the surgery have been revealed. The team asked for respect for King’s privacy as recovers.

“I’m looking forward to recovering and getting back out on the field!” King said on Instagram.
