NWSL matchweek seven opened with two Friday matches, and the latest availability report showed a long list of players unavailable before the action got going. The report covered Racing Louisville vs. Portland Thorns and Orlando Pride vs. North Carolina Courage, and it listed only out statuses while leaving questionable and international-duty sections empty.

Among the players ruled out were Savannah DeMelo with an illness, Marisa DeGrande on maternity leave, Erynn Floyd with a hand injury, and Ellie Jean with an illness. The report also listed Olivia Sekany, Bella Bixby, Julie Dufour, Caiya Hanks, Morgan Weaver, Kylie Nadaner, Viviana Villacorta, Maycee Bell, Payton Crawford, Olivia Wingate and others with knee injuries, many of them designated SEI, while Kerry Abello was out with a hip injury, Hannah Anderson with an illness, Zara Chavoshi with a lower leg injury, Cosette Morche with an ankle injury and a D45 designation, Natalie Jacobs with an ankle injury and Feli Rauch because of suspension.

The availability report is the league’s pregame injury and status guide, the document clubs and supporters use to sort through who can and cannot take part before kickoff. This one was notable less for any single name than for how many absences it carried and how little uncertainty it left behind: no players were listed as questionable and no players were listed for international duty.

That leaves the start of matchweek seven in a straightforward place. Teams were forced to plan without a sizable group of unavailable players, and the cleanest reading of the report is that there was no late mystery to solve before Friday’s opening matches.
