Five matches awaits us this Sunday, starting with Denver Summit vs Gotham and finishing with Seattle Reign vs San Diego Wave.
Who’s available and who’s not? Let’s remember that the U-20 World Cup just begun and so, some teams might have some players on international duty.
Denver will have to endure not having Ally Brazier, a regular starter in the last few games, due to personal reasons. On the other hand, North Carolina’s starting centre-back Natalie Jacobs is still out due to a head injury.
The Portland
Thorns will have to solve a midfield dilemma once again because Deyna Castellanos, the player who has started in the midfield since Olivia Moultrie got injured, will be unavailable with an excused absence.
Washington Spirit will have to keep weathering the storm in the absence of Leicy Santos and Claudia Martínez, who have been out for some weeks now.
Orlando will have attacker Julie Doyle and starting centre-back Rafaelle out which is not ideal.
Seattle is the team most impacted due to the U-20 World Cup, with three players on international duty while Houston has starting winger Linda Ullmark out for this reason also.
