After Seattle Reign FC's Hope Solo was suspended by US Soccer on Wednesday, speculation about whether Solo would play against the Portland Thorns began. Roughly 4 hours before Saturday's match, we found out the answer. Solo has been granted personal leave by the Seattle Reign and will not play against the Portland.
Hope Solo has been granted personal leave and will be unavailable for today's match. Andi Tostanoski has been signed as a GK replacement.

The news came first in a tweet and then shortly after a media alert from the club announcing the temporary signing of backup goalkeeper Andi Tostanoski.
