Red Stars head coach Lorne Donaldson mentioned in his pre-match media session that he anticipates leading goal-scorer Mallory Swanson being fit to play in some capacity against Angel City on Sunday.

Donaldson stated that Swanson will be "available, whether that means starting or finishing, but she'll be ready" for the clash with Angel City.
