VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) ? Hope Solo's leg injury could keep the goalkeeper out of the game that determines whether the U.S. women's national team goes to the Olympics.
Coach Pia Sundhage said Wednesday that she needs to see how Solo is recovering from a pulled right quad before deciding on the lineup for Friday's game against Costa Rica.
Solo has needed extra work to get back into soccer shape after appearing on "Dancing With the Stars" following last year's World Cup. She said she pulled the quad a few days ago, and the injury was aggravated during the first half of Tuesday night's 4-0 win over Mexico.
Nicole Barnhart is Solo's backup for the tournament.
The winner of Friday's game earns one of the region's two berths for the London Games.
