Washington Spirit star Trinity Rodman was injured and had to be helped off the field during the team’s 4-0 CONCACAF W Champions Cup group stage win over Monterrey on Wednesday.
Rodman, 23, fell to the ground after attempting a tackle in the 41st minute. She had to be helped by trainers as she seemed unable to put weight on her right leg and was in tears when trainers took her off the field.
Rodman used crutches after the match and wore a full-length knee brace. Rodman’s exact diagnosis is unclear.

“We have to wait until tomorrow,” Spirit coach Adrian Gonzalez told reporters after the match, according to Pro Soccer Wire. “She will be scanned tomorrow and we will have more information.”
Earlier today, Rodman was called up to the U.S. women’s national team for the first time since April. She suffered from a chronic back injury that limited her to just one appearance since the USWMT won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
USWNT head coach Emma Hayes said she was excited to have Rodman back on the roster.

“I’m super excited to have Trin back in the group — but a healthy Trin, I think, is the important thing,” Hayes said during a press conference, according to ESPN.
“When she came in in April, she really felt like she was in a good place, but the reality was, I think so much adrenaline got her through that match in Los Angeles, but afterward the reality hit her that there were issues behind her back that weren’t resolved.

“She is one of the best players in the world and we had to play without her for over a year.”
Rodman has scored 17 goals for the Spirit since his return to play.
