But Morgan, 31, who has scored 107 goals for the United States, came off the bench in the second half of Spurs' 1-1 draw with Reading on Saturday.
"It just feels good to get back on the field for the first time in more than a year, so I’m happy about that," Morgan told Spurs TV.
"Obviously I’m not too happy about the result but I just had to start to get some minutes and build from there, so I’m pretty happy that this is a good starting point."

Morgan said she was working her way back to full sharpness.
