LYON, France — Megan Rapinoe looks set to be fit for the United States' Women's World Cup final against Netherlands, saying Saturday: "I expect to be good to go".

The striker, who has scored five goals in this World Cup including successive braces in the knockout wins against Spain and host France, was a surprise absentee for the semifinal victory Tuesday over England because of a slight hamstring strain.

Rapinoe said after that game she expected to be ready by the weekend for USA's third World Cup final and, having trained in the days leading up to the clash with the European champions, the 34-year-old believes she will be passed fit.

"As of now, I'm expecting to be ready for tomorrow. I feel good," Rapinoe said at USA's pre-match press conference Saturday. "That's all I can really say right now. We have one more training session. 

"I'm pretty open and honest with you. Nothing hidden. I expect to be good to go for tomorrow."

Christen Press took Rapinoe's place against England and headed the Americans' opening goal in a 2-1 win.

Coach Jill Ellis confirmed Saturday she expects to have everyone available, which means midfielder Rose Lavelle, who came off against England with a hamstring problem, should also be fit.

"Having this extra day [of rest] has been huge," Ellis said. "At this point no one has been ruled out so that's encouraging for me as a coach."
