THE BIGGER PICTURE: Macario, who joined the Blues on a three-year deal from Lyon in the summer, is one of the most exciting prospects in all of women's soccer after she helped lead Lyon to a UEFA Champions League title in 2021. However, she missed the 2022/23 season with a torn ACL.

Fishel joined the Blues in August from Mexican side Tigres, where she scored 38 goals in 48 games, helping lead them to an Apertura tile.
