Orlando Pride striker Alex Morgan returned to the team’s preseason training this week after spending a couple of weeks winning the SheBelieves Cup with the United States Women’s National Team. Morgan continues to work toward regaining her form following the birth of her daughter last May, a pandemic that wiped out the NWSL regular season, another minor knee injury while on a short-term deal with Tottenham Hotspur, and a bout with COVID-19.
The SheBelieves Cup was a good step toward regaining that form. Morgan was a threat on the pitch during the tournament, although she lacked some sharpness in front of goal before finally scoring in the tournament finale against Argentina.
