Is Trinity Rodman playing tonight for Washington Spirit vs Portland Thorns?

The NWSL is back in action after a six-week break, with teams gearing up to get back in action. Washington Spirit will look to kick off the restart with a bang as they host rivals Portland Thorns at home in the upcoming game. With a lot riding on the game, all eyes are on Trinity Rodman, as the USWNT star eyes a valiant return.

Washington currently holds a 7 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws record, sitting in fourth place on the NWSL standings with 23 points heading into the fixture. A win over the Thorns will see them climb up to second place in the standings.

The 6-week break has worked out pretty much in favor of Washington with multiple top names set to return from injuries, including Trinity Rodman, who was a part of the team's training sessions last month.

Can fans expect Rodman to take to the field?

With a game of such high importance, Washington fans will hope that star player Trinity Rodman can be back in action. The player has been a crucial part of the team's attack, and her presence could create some big headaches for the Thorns. However, according to reports, while Rodman has joined the team's training, expecting her to start off the gate could be a big risk.

Additionally, midfielder Leicy Santos is expected to be back in action after appearing for her nation during the international break, which could lift some pressure off Rodman. The team is also expected to see some other names take to the field, with defenders Kate Wiesner and Paige Metayer likely to feature in the playing XI.
