United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) head coach Emma Hayes has named 24 players to her latest roster.
Her selected squad will assemble in Europe for friendlies against England (30 November) and the Netherlands (3 December).
“In terms of our schedule, this is the end of a wonderful year, but we’re still at the beginning of our process of building towards qualifying for the next World Cup,” Hayes said.
“So this trip will be about testing ourselves against two world-class teams with opportunities to develop our roster.
“We will continue to build relationships on and off the field and I’m really excited to work with this group as we continue to set the stage for 2025.”
Prolific forward trio Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, and Mallory Swanson have not been called on as a result of nagging injuries that require prolonged rest.
There is a chance for two newcomers to impress Hayes, with call-ups for midfielder Ally Sentnor and goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
After recently pledging to represent the USA on the international stage, there is also a return to the squad for teenage midfielder Lily Yohannes.
During the last window, seven players were given their first cap for the USWNT, including Hal Hershfelt, Yazmeen Ryan, and Emma Sears. All of them return to this roster.
