The Orlando Pride placed star forward Barbra Banda on the season-ending injury list on Saturday.

The 25-year-old Zambian international sustained an adductor injury in an Aug. 16 draw with Kansas City.

Banda has a team-leading eight goals and one assist in 16 NWSL matches this season.

In 2024, Banda made the NWSL Best XI and helped Orlando win the NWSL Shield and league championship.

The Pride have a Banda bobblehead giveaway scheduled for next Friday's game against Gotham FC.
