" Morgan said on Twitter. 

"

We are all in good spirits and recovering well. After our isolation is completed, I will follow US Soccer's return to play guidelines to ensure my body is fully recovered and I can join my team-mates back on the field soon. Be safe and happy new year."

The 31-year-old striker will most definitely be excluded from the training camp. Morgan is not the only USWNT player to not be included in the roster due to Covid-19 as Lindsey Horan has previously struggled with the diagnosis.

The 31-year-old mother has also been trying to get back to form after having just had her child born in May.

She had made the decision of returning back to action for the Tokyo Olympics last summer; however, she has received a postponement due to the pandemic hit.

“

I definitely feel like I have been able to really just take a step back and go on my own timeline which has been so nice and so unexpected

When I first got pregnant it was going to be the complete opposite.”
