Rose Lavelle is feeling good, which is a very welcome feeling for the 30-year-old midfielder. After missing the first half of last season while recovering from an ankle surgery, Lavelle is recovered, rested, and ready to take on a big year for both club and country.
For Gotham FC, she has already helped lead her team to a third place finish in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup tournament, which came just months after scoring the only goal in the club’s NWSL championship triumph. For the U.S women’s national team, she’ll don the stars and stripes for the 11th iteration of U.S. Soccer’s SheBelieves Cup, the first set of international friendlies before World Cup qualifiers start at the end of the year.
