Interim US women’s national team manager Twila Kilgore has omitted World Cup winner Alex Morgan from her 26-player roster for the upcoming friendlies against China.
Morgan is among several veterans to be left out of the squad for the friendlies on 2 December and 5 December. Eleven players with 10 caps or fewer have been named to the roster as the US enters a new era after a disappointing performance at the 2023 World Cup.
9 players under the age of 23
- Sophia Smith (23)
- Trinity Rodman (21)
- Alyssa Thompson (19)
- Korbin Albert (20)
- Jaedyn Shaw (19)
- Naomi Girma (23)
- Jenna Nighswonger (22)
- Olivia Moultrie (18)
- Mia Fishel (22)
Sofia Huerta, Alyssa Naeher, Ashley Sanchez, Becky Sauerbrunn, Crystal Dunn, Andi Sullivan and Morgan all featured in the team’s friendlies last month but have been left out of the squad.
Old is being replaced by the new. Finally!
