"United States women's national team head coach Emma Hayes said she is "absolutely bummed" that forward Trinity Rodman is absent from the team's training camp due to injury, but she is hopeful that Rodman will be back on the field in the coming weeks."
"Last week, Rodman was named to her first USWNT roster in six months due to ongoing back injuries and the long break in international play. Hayes said at the time that she was " super excited" to have Rodman back, but hours later, Rodman sprained her right MCL in a match with the Washington Spirit."
"Spirit head coach Adrian Gonzalez said last week that Rodman's MCL sprain is a "best [case] scenario" after Rodman left her team's game on Oct. 14 in tears and was seen on crutches and in a full leg brace after the match."
