Kansas City forward Lynn Williams suffered a season-ending leg injury while USWNT defender Tierna Davidson tore her ACL during training. Angel City defender Sarah Gorden is out for an undisclosed amount of time, also with a knee injury.
Portland Thorns and USWNT defender Becky Sauerbrunn also suffered an injury but is expected to return by the start of the regular season at the end of April.
