Alex Morgan is back! USWNT star returns from injury for the San Diego Wave with ‘regroup & refocus’ message in countdown to 2024 Olympic Games

NWSL

NJ/NY Gotham FC

San Diego Wave FC

The vastly-experienced striker – who has scored 123 goals through 223 appearances for her country – is hoping to form part of Emma Hayes’ plans for a gold medal bid in Paris later this year. She has been included in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/uswnt-olympic-2024-squad-emma-hayes-paris/blt0d05639846a4402d" target="_blank">first squad pieced together by her new national team coach</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Morgan got that nod as she has been able to shake off an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/alex-morgan-naomi-girma-injury-woes-continue-san-diego-wave-boss-casey-stoney-issues-update-uswnt-stars-status/bltf7f14161412cad05" target="_blank">ankle problem that has kept her stuck on the sidelines for over a month</a>. With full fitness being recovered, the 34-year-old stepped off the bench for the Wave in their NWSL clash with Angel City FC in Los Angeles.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Morgan was given 27 minutes in that contest, which ended in a goalless draw. She is delighted to be back out on the field, with an important couple of months approaching at domestic and international level – which is allowing the legendary forward to “regroup and refocus”.

WHAT MORGAN SAID

Alongside her club commitments, Morgan will be hoping to figure in friendly dates with South Korea in early June as Hayes opens her reign as USWNT coach – with the Olympic Games in Paris due to get underway on July 24.
