Reinforcements are on the way for Orlando Pride, but Head Coach Tom Sermanni thinks his team will fare just fine without them on Sunday.
“I’ve said it from Day 1 - we feel we have a squad that’s strong enough to be very competitive in this league, regardless of who’s in and who’s out,” Sermanni said after training on Tuesday ahead of Orlando’s match against Houston (5 p.m. Sunday, Orlando City Stadium).
Still, it’s impossible to ignore the names away on international duty.
Alanna Kennedy. Emily van Egmond. Monica. Poliana. Marta. How many starters are listed there may depend on the game, but the quality is irrefutable.
