Fishlock Likely to Return After Negative X-Rays, Reign Look to Bounce Back

It was a moment no Seattle Reign fan wanted to see.

Mere days after the announcement of her retirement at the end of the 2026 season, star midfielder Jess Fishlock came down badly on her left ankle in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Utah Royals to drop Seattle to 3-2-1 (10 points, fourth in NWSL).

Fishlock immediately signaled to the sideline for help and shouted in pain, only for the medical staff to place an aircast on her ankle. As she left the pitch on a stretcher with her face buried in her hands, fans and coaches alike couldn't help but think they had just watched the final minutes of the 39-year-old Welsh legend's career.

Fishlock was taken to a nearby hospital for an X-ray, with her football future hanging in the balance.

It came back negative, and that was enough for head coach Laura Harvey to start planning for Seattle's most consistent offensive force to return.

Seattle Reign Set to Bond in Coachella in Latest Step Towards 2026 Season

The Seattle Reign are in California to train with around half of the NWSL's 16 sides. The team flew out on Sunday after a few weeks of training in Tukwila, punctuated by a return of five USWNT call-ups for the final week.

In Coachella, coach Laura Harvey's squad will be focused on improving their chance generation, as Seattle finished among the league's least productive offenses in 2025 - the squad ended in fifth place and lost to Orlando in the first round. The Reign will have a friendly against Angel City FC on Feb. 21 at 1:30 p.m. (to be broadcasted on FOX 13), and team media staff confirmed two closed door scrimmages will take place during Seattle's time at the invitational.

With chances to compete against new competition forthcoming, Harvey and USWNT call-ups in forward Maddie Dahlien and defender Jordyn Bugg spoke to The Spectrum last Wednesday about how they plan to get their offense on track.
