SANFORD, Fla. — Sydney Leroux could return to the pitch for the Orlando Pride on Sunday for the first time since giving birth to her daughter in July.
Coach Marc Skinner is “hopeful” Leroux could travel to New Jersey with the team to play Sky Blue FC this weekend. He said Leroux’s performance in training suggests she is ready to return, but added the club needs to monitor her fitness to ensure that she is fully prepared for the intensity of a game.
If she doesn’t make the trip, Skinner has “definite” plans to work her into the team’s home match against the Washington Spirit next Saturday.
