United States star Alex Morgan said she plans to play in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo despite the timing of giving birth to her first child.
Morgan is expecting a baby girl in April, approximately three months before the start of the Olympics.
"I hope to get back on the field as soon as possible," Morgan told USA Today. "After having a healthy baby, I want to get back with the national team and look forward to playing in Tokyo."
The 30-year-old Morgan announced she was pregnant two weeks ago on various social-media accounts, along with husband Servando Carrasco.
