<p><span>The incident occurred around the 30-minute mark, when Lavelle went to the ground following contact with an Angel City player and struck her head on the turf.

<p><span>After the match, a spokesperson for the club said she was being evaluated for a head injury. The severity and details haven't been disclosed. Following the match, Gotham FC interim head coach Shaun Harris said that he had "no updates on Rose."</span></p><p><br></p>

'No updates on Rose'

<p><span>It's hard to say without any updates yet, but if Lavelle is out with a head injury for upcoming matches, Gotham FC is going to have to get creative with personnel. This isn't the first knock to Gotham's starting lineup, nor the USWNT for that matter. USWNT and Gotham FC defender Emily Sonnett was added to the season-ending injury list last month with a ruptured patellar tendon in her left knee.</span></p><p><span>Gotham still sit in the No. 1 position in the league standings, seven points clear of trailing Washington Spirit and Portland Thorns. </span></p><p><br></p>

What this means for Lavelle
