Twice World Cup winner Alex Morgan, who recently tested positive for COVID-19, will not participate in a January training camp in Orlando that will be followed by two friendlies against Colombia, the U.S. Women’s National Team said on Wednesday. The 27-player training camp roster, which marks the return of World Cup winners Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd and Mallory Pugh, was revealed a day after Morgan said she tested positive for COVID-19 over Christmas. Rapinoe, Lloyd and Pugh were not in the national team’s previous two camps and saw limited or no action for their National Women’s Soccer League clubs in 2020. Christen Press, a forward for Manchester United of the Women’s Super League, will remain in England as she works to regain fitness after sustaining a non COVID-19 illness.
