Megan Rapinoe has returned to the U.S. women's national soccer team after sitting out for nearly a year, joining the squad for its January training camp in Florida.

She's expected to play for the U.S. in a pair of exhibition games against Colombia later this month. 

Rapinoe hunkered down at home when the coronavirus began to take hold in the United States and the National Women's Soccer League called off its season. 

The star who plays for OL Reign opted out of the NWSL's Challenge Cup tournament in Utah last summer and the league's fall series. 

She also opted out of the national team's October camp.
