2023 SheBelieves Cup Roster Announced

Yesterday, US Soccer and the USWNT announced the roster for the 2023 SheBelieves Cup versus Brazil, Japan, and Canada.

The roster is: (with club team)

Goalkeepers: Alyssa Naeher (Chicago), Casey Murphy (NC), Adrianna Franch (KC)

Defenders: Emily Fox (NC), Crystal Dunn (Portland), Alana Cook (OL Reign), Naomi Girma (SD), Sofia Huerta (OL Reign), Becky Sauerbrunn (Portland), Emily Sonnett (OL Reign)

Midfielders: Lindsay Horan (OL Feminin), Taylor Korneick (SD), Kristie Mewis (Gotham), Rose Lavelle (OL Reign), Ashley Sanchez (Washington), Andi Sullivan (Washington)

Forwards: Megan Rapinoe (OL Reign), Ashley Hatch (Washington), Alex Morgan (SD), Trinity Rodman (Washington), Midge Purce (Gotham), Lynn Williams (Gotham), Mallory Swanson (Chicago)

Tierna Davidson will be training with the team, but not tournament eligible.

This roster is not entirely surprising. It's missing Sophia Smith, who recently recovered from a foot injury, but Manager Vlatko Andonovski chose to allow her to rest a little longer. There are still quite a few players recovering from injury that Andonovski said we will likely see in upcoming camps. That list includes, Christen Press (ACL), Catarina Macario (ACL), and Tobin Heath (knee).

It will be interesting to see how things continue to develop as the World Cup looms.
