Temwa Chawinga is back. After 168 days out with an injury, the two-time NWSL MVP and Golden Boot winner made her return to the pitch with the Kansas City Current in their 2-1 comeback win over Gotham FC this past weekend.

So, what does it mean for the Current and the NWSL to have Chawinga back?

On this episode of the Full Time Review, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by Melanie Anzidei to discuss Chawinga’s return, as well as Kansas City’s revenge match against Gotham, and how much struggling Current head coach Chris Armas needs his star after suffering an early-season three-match losing streak.

PLUS: What is behind Gotham’s continued struggles in front of goal? What does it mean for Angel City to drop its first game of the season, leaving no undefeated teams remaining in the NWSL? Is it time to believe in the San Diego Wave?
