Trinity Rodman to Miss USWNT Camp After Right Knee Injury, Possible NWSL Return This Season

Initial scans point to a roughly three-week rehab with reevaluation near the NWSL quarterfinals.

Overview

  • Rodman injured her right knee in the first half of the Washington Spirit’s 4-0 Concacaf W Champions Cup win over Monterrey after an attempted tackle.
  • She was unable to put weight on her right leg, left on crutches, and was later seen with a full-length knee brace.
  • Multiple reports say she will skip next week’s USWNT friendlies against Portugal and New Zealand due to the injury.
  • Sources indicate a positive long-term outlook, with a tentative three-week recovery timeline before the medical staff reassesses her status.
  • Spirit coach Adrián González said scans were scheduled for Thursday, as the No. 2-seeded Spirit approach playoffs beginning Nov. 7.
