Alex Morgan, captain of the world champion U.S. women’s soccer team, has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be called into the national team’s first training camp of 2021.
“Unfortunately, my family and I closed out 2020 learning that we had contracted Covid while in California over the holidays,” Morgan announced in a series of Twitter posts Tuesday. “We are all in good spirits and recovering well. After our isolation is completed, I will follow US Soccer’s return to play guidelines to ensure my body is fully recovered and I can join my teammates back on the field soon.
