The game at BMO Field has long since been sold out, and it will be broadcast live on ESPNews .

A shot on goal by Canada's Melissa Tancredi is blocked by Sweden's Lina Nilsson who was not charged with a handball during their women's Group F football match at the London 2012 Olympic Games at St James' Park in Newcastle, northern England July 31, 2012.

Energized by the returns of U.S. internationals Abby Wambach and Carli Lloyd from injury, the Western New York Flash no longer look like the National Women's Soccer League doormat they were after three matches.

With Abby Wambach's head injury saga firmly in the past, the Western New York Flash took advantage of their superstar striker in the lineup to beat Sky Blue 2-1 on May 1 . Now, after a 10-day breather, WNY head coach Aaran Lines may welcome his other international star into his lineup.

The Western New York Flash could get a big lift in Saturday's 7:35 home match at Sahlen's Stadium against unbeaten FC Kansas City because United States national team midfielder Carli Lloyd says she's "ready to go" to make her Flash debut.

The Western New York Flash, including United States national team star Abby Wambach, will hold an open practice at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Sahlen's Stadium that's free to fans and then will offer a chance to get autographs and pictures with players from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Distillery, 1142 Mt.
