(Reuters) - United
States international and twice World Cup winner Alex Morgan said
on Tuesday she and her family tested positive for COVID-19 over
the Christmas holiday and are all recovering well.
Morgan, who is married to former Major League Soccer player
Servando Carrasco and gave birth to her first child last May,
returned to the United States last month after a five-game spell
with Tottenham Hotspur in the Women's Super League.
"Unfortunately, my family and I closed out 2020 learning that we
had contracted Covid while in California over the holidays,"
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 teammates back on the field soon. Be safe and
happy new year."
The 31-year-old Morgan joined north London club Tottenham from
Orlando Pride in a bid to regain match fitness following the
birth of her child after the COVID-19 pandemic truncated the
National Women’s Soccer League.
