Washington Spirit star Trinity Rodman was injured and had to be helped off the field in the team’s 4-0 CONCACAF Champions Cup W group stage victory 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 because she seemed unable to put any weight on her right leg and was crying when trainers took her off the field.
Rodman used crutches after the game and sported a full knee brace. Rodman’s exact diagnosis is unclear.

“We have to wait until tomorrow,” Spirit coach Adrian Gonzalez told reporters after the game, according to Pro Soccer Wire. “Tomorrow they will scan it and we will have more information.”
Earlier in the day, Rodman was called up to the United States women’s national team roster for the first time since April. She had been dealing with a chronic back injury that limited her to 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 very excited to have Trin back with the group, but I think the important thing is that Trin is healthy,” Hayes said in a press conference, according to ESPN.
“When she came in April, she really felt like she was in a good place, but the reality was, I think a lot of adrenaline got her through that game in Los Angeles, but then that reality was realizing that there were some issues with her back that weren’t resolved.

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