Hope Solo -- Reporting for Duty, Coach ... If Ya Still Need Me

Hope Solo is back in L.A. ... and ready to rejoin her Team USA soccer teammates when her suspension ends, but question is -- do they want her back?

We got Hope flying back into LAX Monday ... four days before the end of her 30-day suspension for allowing her allegedly drunk husband, Jerramy Stevens to drive a team shuttle.

It's the first time she's talking since his arrest, and our photog asked how the team's been doing without her. Hope's answer is telling ... especially considering the buzz Team USA might be tired of her repeated legal troubles, and ready to move on without her.

The team's star goalie since 2000 has been practicing like she's coming back -- and Hope sounds optimistic enough in this clip.
