""We are going to take this day by day," Gonzalez told reporters. "Every player is completely different.""
""She's one of the best players in the world, and we've had to play without her for more than a year," Hayes said about Rodman on Wednesday prior to the forward's injury."
"U.S. Soccer announced her return to the team after a six-month absence and USWNT head coach Emma Hayes told reporters she was "super excited" to have Rodman back on the roster."
Trinity Rodman sustained a Grade 1 MCL sprain and will be sidelined for an unspecified period. The injury is expected to keep her out of the United States women's national team matches against Portugal and New Zealand, although U.S. Soccer has not formally withdrawn her from camp. Washington Spirit head coach Adrian Gonzalez said recovery will be handled day by day and would not confirm national team absence. Rodman suffered the injury during a 4-0 win over Monterrey in the Concacaf W Champions Cup, could not put pressure on her right leg, and was seen on crutches with a knee brace. Her availability for the NWSL playoffs in three weeks is uncertain after a six-month absence from the national team.
