Mallory Swanson will miss the Chicago Stars' first NWSL game against the Orlando Pride due to personal reasons. The team has not provided further details about her absence, which began in January. Swanson last played on November 8, 2024, and has been absent from U.S. national team camps since then. Chicago will also be without defenders Sam Staab and Natalia Kuikka for the match due to injuries. The Stars, formerly known as the Red Stars, struggled in 2023 without Swanson, finishing last in the league. The team will rely on other players, including Ally Schlegel and Brazil's Ludmila, for their season opener.
