Alex Morgan back with USWNT for SheBelieves Cup

The Hindu  

Alex Morgan is back with the U.S. national team for the SheBelieves Cup after a bout with COVID-19 over the holidays. “Unfortunately, the COVID now took her a step back, but I have no doubt that she’ll be able to get over all of the obstacles along the way.” Also returning to the team is Christen Press, who missed the January matches and has been playing overseas with Manchester United. “And it’s a good opportunity for me to look at other players.” Tobin Heath, who plays for Manchester United, also was not included because of an ankle injury that will sideline her for 10 to12 weeks. Sam Mewis, the reigning U.S. Soccer Player of the Year, injured her ankle in the second match against Colombia but she's progressing faster than expected, Andonovski said.
