[3] On January 25, 2023, the Current announced that it had hired Sweden under-19 national team manager Caroline Sjöblom as an assistant to head coach Matt Potter[4][5] on a contract until 2024.
[6] On October 16, 2022, midfielder Claire Lavogez suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the Current's NWSL playoffs quarter-finals match against Houston Dash.
[11] The Current also dealt with early-season injuries to defenders Elizabeth Ball and Alex Loera, and midfielder and co-captain Desiree Scott, forcing the club to rely on defensive rookies Gabrielle Robinson, a draft pick, and Croix Soto, a preseason trialist.
[17] On January 12, 2023, the Current traded forward Lynn Williams to NJ/NY Gotham FC in exchange for the second-overall pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft, which Kansas City used to select Michelle Cooper.
The North Carolina Courage had traded Williams to the Current on January 10, 2022,[18] but she suffered a season-ending hamstring injury in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup and had not appeared for Kansas City in a regular-season match.
[1][24] Sjöblom learned of Potter's firing and her appointment hours before it occurred and led the Current to a 2–0 victory in her debut as manager, comparing the short turnaround to the limited preparation she had as a youth international coach.
After Potter's firing, interim head coach Caroline Sjöblom expressed a preference for a four-back, possession-based system but noted difficulties implementing it without the benefit of a full preseason, and with injuries to starting defender Elizabeth Ball and midfielder Morgan Gautrat.
[28] In October 2021, the team announced plans to build its own 11,500-capacity venue on the Berkley Riverfront of Kansas City, which is expected to open in late 2023 or early 2024, in time for the 2024 NWSL regular season.
