Washington Spirit place Kate Wiesner and Deborah Abiodun on injury list

The Washington Spirit announced on September 4, 2026, that defender Kate Wiesner and midfielder Deborah Abiodun have been placed on the 45-day injury list. Wiesner suffered a fractured ankle during the team's 1-0 home victory against Bay FC last weekend and has since undergone surgery. The defender appeared in 20 matches this season, including 15 starts. Abiodun is sidelined with a hip injury after making nine appearances and four starts for the club in 2026. Both players will undergo rehabilitation overseen by the Washington Spirit medical and performance staff. The moves further reduce the team's available roster depth as the 2026 NWSL season continues.
