"Rodman was injured in second-half stoppage time on Sunday when Milagros Martín challenged her from behind. Rodman dropped to the ground holding her lower back and received several minutes of medical attention. She stood up and consulted with the trainers on the sideline, but she did not return to the field for the final few minutes of action."
"The 23-year-old Rodman has dealt with back problems for several years. Last year, Rodman missed nearly four months of play due to ongoing back issues and the NWSL's summer break. She scored a few minutes into her return in August and was back to full fitness soon after."
"Rodman, who recently re-signed with the Spirit for what sources say is the largest contract in the world, also had a major back flare-up in late 2024 that affected her during that playoff run. Rodman returned to the USWNT in January for the first time since April 2025."
Trinity Rodman sustained a lower back injury during the second-half stoppage time of Sunday's 2-0 SheBelieves Cup victory over Argentina when challenged from behind. She received medical attention and consulted with trainers but did not return to play. USWNT head coach Emma Hayes confirmed Rodman is fine and fully training, easing concerns about reinjury. Rodman has experienced recurring back problems over several years, missing nearly four months in the previous year and suffering a major flare-up in late 2024. Defender Lilly Reale has left training camp due to a foot injury sustained during the same match. The USWNT faces Canada on Wednesday in the SheBelieves Cup's second matchday.
