Christen Press told ESPN’s “Fútbol Americas” that she is in the final stages of her Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) recovery, almost a year after suffering the injury.
While ACL injuries can take somewhere between 6-12 months to heal, Press’ required three surgeries, indicating a longer process than others.
Despite the setbacks, Press said she has never given up hope of making the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) roster for the 2023 World Cup.
“Obviously the timing’s really tough,” she said.
“But I’m doing everything I can to get back as quickly as possible because it would be a dream come true to represent my country again at that level.”

She surpasses Kerr, who had 102 in her time in the NWSL.
With four wins, Gotham has already equaled its win total from 2022.
