Two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan says she plans to return to the national team in time for the 2020 Olympics
Two-time World Cup winner Morgan is expecting a baby girl in April but believes she can be fit enough for when the Games officially begin in Tokyo on July 24, although the soccer tournament is due to start two days earlier. Whilst acknowledging the quick turnaround, the 30-year-old is determined to continue her stellar soccer career throughout motherhood. "I hope to get back on the field as soon as possible,'' Morgan told USA TODAY Sports.
She was also one of the US team's captains at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, scoring six goals in France on her way to lifting the trophy. Taking inspiration from a host of elite athletes, she wants to continue playing at the highest level whilst bringing up her new family. "I plan to follow in those footsteps and be one of those women who have a family and carry my daughter around as I'm going to the next city to play," she added.
