Anyone (Chad) have injury updates? Lo? Robinson and Pfeiffer? Last we heard the latter two were training. I never heard how long Lo was expected out.
Lo should be available for the Teal Rising Cup. Everytime we ask about Robinson and Pfeiffer we get they are in the return to play process or some variation of it. They do practice and look ready with the limited amount of time we get to see training.
Thanks for the update. It’s hard to find any info. I was certainly surprised Lo missed what she did since it didn’t sound bad at first. It’ll be nice to come out of the break firing on all cylinders, and if those cylinders include Robinson (and Pfeiffer to a lesser extent) look out NWSL.
