WHAT PRESS SAID

<p>Angel City released their preseason player roster Wednesday evening, with Press's name included on the team sheet. As a result, fans of the USWNT and the NWSL side flocked to social media with excitement. However, Press's statement is as clear as possible - and it's that she is not ready to return to the pitch yet. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>ACFC are currently in preseason mode, with the 2024 campaign set to kickoff in March of this year. The entire schedule has not dropped yet, but it's expected to drop within the next week. For the Los Angeles-based club, seeing Press included is a positive look for the forthcoming year.</p>
