Racing Louisville forward Jessica McDonald has announced that she is pregnant with her second child, clearing up speculation surrounding her being granted excused absences since late April. As a result, she will miss the rest of the NWSL season. This opens up an additional roster spot for Louisville, who have a couple of players due to return from loans including Riley Parker, Tigres in Liga MX Femenil, and Hillary Beall, Western United in Australia’s A-League.
