USWNT Roster For June Friendlies Revealed With New Additions

USWNT roster announced for friendlies against South Korea in June.

The United States women's national team has announced its roster for the upcoming friendlies against South Korea in June. The team, under new head coach Emma Hayes, features a mix of experienced veterans and promising newcomers.

Notable absences from the roster include longtime starting goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who is recovering from a thigh injury. In her absence, Casey Murphy will likely step in as the starting goalkeeper.

Forward Alex Morgan and center-backs Naomi Girma and Tierna Davidson are included in the roster despite recent injury concerns. Morgan, the most-capped player on the team, is nearing a return from an ankle injury.

Crystal Dunn, typically a full-back, is listed as a forward for this camp, showcasing the team's versatility. Depth issues at center-back have led to the inclusion of Sam Staab, who earns her first call-up.

The roster also features first-time call-ups Hal Hershfelt and Lily Yohannes, along with training players Olivia Moultrie, Croix Bethune, and Kate Wiesner.

Hayes, who took over as head coach in November, is focused on preparing the team for the upcoming Olympics in Paris. The USWNT will face Zambia, Germany, and Australia in the group stage.

Hayes emphasized the importance of commitment and teamwork as the team gears up for the challenges ahead. The upcoming friendlies against South Korea will serve as a crucial test for the squad as they finalize their roster for the Olympics.

With a mix of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers, the USWNT is poised to make a strong showing at the 2024 Paris Games. Fans can expect an exciting and competitive performance from the team under Hayes' leadership.
