NWSL Announces Trinity Rodman News Before Spirit-Thorns Game
NWSL Announces Trinity Rodman News Before Spirit-Thorns Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Trinity Rodman hasn't played a match for the Washington Spirit since April due to a back injury. On Saturday, however, a new update on her condition emerged. Rodman, who has suited up in just four matches this 2025 and only returned to team training in early July, appears slated to get back on the field after three months of recovery. NWSL Confirms Trinity Rodman's Injury Status On Saturday, ahead of the Spirit's showdown with the Portland Thorns on Sunday, the NWSL announced that Rodman is "available" for the game. "Washington Spirit forward Trinity Rodman available for game day roster," the NWSL wrote along with a photo of the 23-year-old in action. While it's unknown if Rodman will start and whether or not the Spirit will be cautious with her playing time and workload, fans can expect the five-year NWSL veteran to be as aggressive as she used to be — only this time smarter, especially after her back issue. "I'm still gonna be Trin," Rodman said while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, per ESPN. "But, I think the way that I would throw my body around [before], maybe not. Maybe just being smarter about certain tackles, certain runs, certain 50-50s. "I'm still gonna be intense, and I'm still gonna give it 100% all the time, but I think there's parts of my game where I need to save energy or adjust to certain tackles, and I think I've been doing a pretty good job with that so far coming back in training." Rodman's Injury and Importance to Spirit The last time Rodman played for the Spirit was against Racing Louisville FC, but she wasn't able to finish the contest and left at halftime. At the time, the match came just over a week since Rodman returned to international duty for the USWNT following months of absence due to her back injury. After that, Rodman took some time away from the team to manage her injury with doctors and trainers. The former Washington State star recently admitted that her back problem kept her "in pain all the time," per Now that Rodman is back and healthy again, the Spirit become a more lethal team. Currently sitting at No. 5 in the NWSL standings with a 7-2-4 win-loss-draw record, Washington has a real opportunity to string together more wins and climb up the rankings. Rodman is one of the Spirit's best scorers and playmakers, as proven by her numbers over the years: 2021: 6 goals (2nd on team); 5 assists (1st on team) 2022: 4 goals (2nd on team); 2 assists (tied for 2nd on team) 2023: 5 goals (tied for 2nd on team); 2 assists (tied for 2nd on team) 2024: 8 goals (tied for 1st on team); 6 assists (2nd on team) Of course it might take some time for Rodman to get back to game condition after more than three months out. However, there's no denying that her return is a huge boost to the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Trinity Rodman made the most of her opportunity after enduring a grueling recovery over the past three months.

She came in as a second-half substitute and quickly made an impact to lead the team to victory. Trinity Rodman Is Back After Overcoming Chronic Back Pain Rodman entered Audi Field in the 76th minute, with both the Spirit and Thorns tied at 1-1 following the first-half scores from Gift Monday and Olivia Moultrie.

In the 92nd minute, Spirit midfielder Courtney Brown sent a cross that landed in the box. Another Washington midfielder, Croix Bethune, hit the ball and redirected it, catching the Portland defenders by surprise. As the ball bounced, it ended up in front of an unmarked Rodman, who proceeded to smash it into the net with an incredible first touch. Keeper Mackenzie Arnold had no chance to stop it at all, as the ball hit the upper part of the net. Rodman was naturally emotional after her goal that gave the Spirit a 2-1 lead and eventually the win. During her post-match interview, she was also seen in tears as she reflected on her journey back. "Holy cow, that was just the hardest thing I've had to go through with injury and everything," Rodman shared. "So, being back with the team, especially at home, with the stadium and the crowd behind me, scoring a goal like that – you saw I buried it. I was not going to miss it. I'm just really happy to be back. I missed the team. I missed doing what I love." Fans Get Emotional After Rodman's Winner After the Spirit posted photos of the aftermath of Rodman's close-range shot, fans quickly took to the comment section to react to the moment.

An emotional follower stated, "The way I was sobbing in the stands." "Ooo, my eyes welled up. I had to collect myself. So glad she is healing," a sixth poster added. Spirit Rolling Again With Rodman Back Sure enough, Rodman's big goal in her return is a morale-booster for a Spirit team looking to move up the NWSL table. With their latest win, the Spirit jumped to No. 3 with 26 points on an 8-4-2 win-loss-draw record. They face Gotham FC next on Saturday.
