.AbbyDahlkemper battled back to become a USWNT standout — and now she's looking towards the Olympics.
. The 20-person roster will be cut down to 18 by the time the team heads to Tokyo, which means that, even with her success at the World Cup, Abby's spot at the Olympics isn't guaranteed. Still, she considers it an honor to chase after roster spots against the best players in the world."It leaves no room for me to take a breath."
Abby isn't just being modest when she talks about how grateful she is to be on this team, playing this sport. In November 2016, just after playing her first caps with the USWNT, a sudden injury left her not just sidelined, but fighting for her career and life. It was a serious sepsis infection which started in her foot and spread rapidly throughout her body, landing her in emergency surgery."At the time, I didn't know what had happened," she said.
She stayed in the hospital for a week afterwards, but the recovery didn't end there. Abby, accustomed to being on the field all game long, was out of soccer for months as her body fought back from the infection, hooked up to a peripherally inserted central catheter or PICC line that pumped antibiotics into her bloodstream 24/7."It was really a humbling experience," said Abby, who still suffers from limited mobility in her big toe.
