It’s been a busy couple of weeks, especially in the NWSL where most teams have been playing multiple games per week since the start of the regular season. This has allowed for plenty of squad rotation, allowing some players to get meaningful minutes despite raising the possibility of more injuries. Thankfully, the Mexicanas Abroad have all been getting minutes (except for Sabrina Flores, who is still injured) and haven’t been bogged down with fatigue or injury. This will hopefully be beneficial for the players who are headed to Monterrey for the Concacaf W Championship in July.
