Hoping to correct a mistake from last season, Dash coach Randy Waldrum on Monday said the team will be extra cautious with how quickly U.S. international midfielder Morgan Brian returns to full training.
Brian, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NWSL Draft, injured the MCL in her right knee on March 7 in the national team's game against France.
She did some work on the side once she returned to the Dash for preseason camp and even trained fully for one day three weeks ago. She tweaked the injury that day has not been in full training since.
