The World Cup may still have a final and third-place game to finish, but the NWSL is done waiting.
The league’s break from regular season play concludes Friday, with the Kansas City Current and OL Reign kicking off a full slate of matches.
It’s awkward timing, with a few players still participating at the World Cup, others still recovering from a physically and mentally grueling process, and yet more having come back quickly after the group stage. With 61 different NWSL players going to the World Cup, there are probably 61 unique situations to deal with here.
Pro Soccer Wire knows fans want to know when their team’s internationals will be back in uniform, so we’ve done the relevant social media research and Zoom press conference recording. Consider this a status update for all 61 World Cup participants as the NWSL playoff chase truly gets underway.
