The U.S. women’s national team (USWNT) had a couple of familiar faces present during a recent training session.

With the team training in Los Angeles ahead of the Concacaf W Gold Cup, both Christen Press and Tobin Heath took the opportunity to stop by and visit some old teammates.

Both Heath and Press have been absent from the team due to injuries. Press is still making her way back from a June 2022 ACL tear, while Heath suffered a knee injury with OL Reign in late 2022 that required surgery.

Press has since had four surgeries, but is hoping to make it back for this NWSL season with Angel City. Neither player has officially announced a retirement.

“I am doing everything in my power to get back on the field as soon as possible,” Press said last September. “Looking forward to my return on the pitch.”
