Red Stars Notebook: Nagasato returns, USWNT roster, and Updates on Coaching search

It’s been a busy week for the Chicago Red Stars, but there are still some big questions waiting to be answered going into the beginning of preseason.

Yuki is Back

The Red Stars made their first acquisition of 2022 on Tuesday, bringing Yuki Nagasato back from Racing Louisville after one season. The Red Stars parted ways with a third round draft pick in 2023, as well as an international slot.

Though now 34, Nagasato has still shown she has plenty left in the tank, starting 18 games for Louisville this past season. In her last full season in Chicago, 2019, she racked up 8 goals and 8 assists playing in behind Sam Kerr and helping the Red Stars reach their first championship game.
