"We need to wait until tomorrow," Spirit coach Adrian Gonzalez told reporters postgame, according toPro Soccer Wire."She's going to get scanned tomorrow, and we will have more information."
Earlier in the day, Rodman was recalled to the U.S. women’s national team roster for the first time since April. She had been dealing with a chronic back injury that limited her to one appearance since the USWMT won gold at the2024 Paris Olympics.
USWNT head coach Emma Hayes said she was excited to have Rodman back on the roster.

"I'm super excited to have Trin back with the group — but a healthy Trin, I think, is the important thing," Hayes said at a news conference, accordingto ESPN.
"When she came in in April, she really felt she was in a good place, but the reality was, I think so much adrenaline got her through that game in LA, but afterward that reality hit home that there were some issues in her back that were unresolved.
"She's one of the best players in the world, and we've had to play without her for more than a year."
Rodman has scored 17 goals for the Spirit since she returned to play.
