Spirit's Trinity Rodman Has MCL Sprain, No Timetable for Her Return
Rodman suffered the injury during Concacaf W Champions Cup play and will miss multiple USWNT matches and possibly the NWSL playoffs, with no clear return date.
- Adrian Gonzalez confirmed on Friday that Trinity Rodman has a Grade 1 MCL sprain and will be sidelined for an unspecified amount of time with no timetable for return.
- During Wednesday's CONCACAF W Champions Cup match against Monterrey, Rodman was helped off in tears after an attempted tackle in the 37th minute and later seen on crutches and a full knee brace on her right leg.
- She had been named to the U.S. roster earlier that day, and scans performed Thursday showed a best-case scenario with typical recovery of one to three weeks for Grade 1 MCL sprains.
- The United States is expected to be without Rodman for matches on Oct. 23 and Oct. 26 against Portugal and Oct. 29 against New Zealand, while her NWSL playoffs status remains uncertain.
- Looking beyond the immediate window, Gonzalez said `All players are different` and `we need to focus on day by day` as Rodman, who has dealt with a recurring back injury for over a year, returned in August.
