U.S. coach Emma Hayes provided an update saying Trinity Rodman is "fine and in training" after picking up an injury in the SheBelieves Cup opener against Argentina. Rodman was injured late in the match following a collision and left the field under her own power. She has a history of recurring back problems and missed nearly four months last year for rehabilitation. On Tuesday in Columbus, Rodman participated in warm-ups and the early portion of team training that was open to media.
Key details:
- Rodman, 23, appeared to clutch her lower back after a collision with Argentina's Milagros Martin, who received a yellow card for the play.
- Rodman spent several minutes receiving treatment, wiped away tears, and later jogged briefly near the touchline before substituting off.
- The player has reported ongoing back pain in the past and previously took nearly four months away from play to rehabilitate the issue.
- Coach Emma Hayes said Rodman was "fine and in training" and Rodman was present for team warm-ups and the media-access portion of training in Columbus.
- Fellow U.S. player Lilly Reale sustained a foot injury in the same match and has returned to Gotham.
Summary:
Hayes' update indicates Rodman remained with the squad and participated in training ahead of the U.S. team's next match. Lilly Reale was reported to have a foot injury and returned to Gotham. The U.S. faces Canada next in the SheBelieves Cup after Canada's 4-1 win over Colombia, and further medical details were not provided.
