With the return of Alex Morgan from Europe, the Orlando Pride have officially re-added the USWNT star striker to the club’s roster. To make room on the 20-player roster for Morgan, the Pride waived Christina Burkenroad.
After months of courting the 27-year-old superstar, Olympique Lyonnais finally got their player on loan from the Pride in December. Morgan remained with the French club through its UEFA Women’s Champions League final triumph over fellow French side Paris Saint-Germain, although she aggravated a hamstring injury in the final and is currently rehabbing in preparation for rejoining Orlando on the field.
