Coach Casey Stoney says the Wave have enough talent to overcome recent injuries to a key starters, including Naomi Girma and Alex Morgan

No different from professional teams in all sports, San Diego Wave FC must try to overcome injuries. Coach Casey Stoney knows her team isn’t alone among the 14 National Women’s Soccer League clubs in having to cope without a few starters — although it’s rare to have both starting central defenders unavailable. “It’s hard to navigate,” she said, “but it’s why we’ve got a squad. It’s why we prepare every player for every game so people can come and do a job.

“Again, we are paying the consequences of a tournament that should have never happened,” said Amoros, whose club comes to Mission Valley for Sunday’s match. A year ago Stoney’s team weathered a flurry of midseason injuries and went on to win the regular-season title. The Wave’s strength and conditioning staff does great work, said Stoney and Jill Ellis, the team president who directed two U.S. Women's National Teams to World Cup titles.
