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.

It didn't take Trinity Rodman long to make her presence felt upon returning from a back injury. The Washington Spirit star returned to the field for the first time since April as a second-half sub during Sunday's game against Portland Thorns FC. All she did was bury the game-winning goal in stoppage time to lift the Spirit to a 2-1 victory.
