Lindsey Horan says she felt miserable when she caught COVID-19 late last year, but she’s grateful it wasn’t worse.
The 26-year-old midfielder was set to accompany the U.S. national team to the Netherlands for their final match of the year when U.S. Soccer announced her diagnosis on Nov. 18.
“COVID time was not a fun time, I’ll say that much,” Horan said Friday. “There was probably a week and a half there that was pretty miserable. And obviously, I wouldn’t want anyone to have to go through that. I’m very lucky that I’m healthy and I’m young and I came out of it OK.
