The Thorns have been without Coffey for a couple of games now, but it’s clear that she’s a crucial part of their lineup. As a key player on the USWNT, losing her for the Olympics would be a major blow. However, the team is making sure to prioritize her health and ensure she’s ready to return to the field when the time comes. Her absence will certainly be felt in the upcoming match against Seattle Reign FC, but it’s important for her to take the necessary time to fully recover before the Olympics.
