"“We are extremely excited to get back together with the team,” Hayes said in a statement."
"“There has been a big gap from July until now and we've watched many club games. Now, it's time to start the build towards qualifying for the 2027 World Cup. We want to maximize every minute we have together, push the players, and keep the momentum going.”"
"Rodman missed the last two USWNT training camps and related friendlies due to a recurring back injury. Her appearance in April, when she scored six minutes into a 2-0 win over Brazil, is her lone international game to date since the 2024 Olympic gold medal. Shaw was traded again in the summer transfer window to NJ/NY Gotham FC, where she has been thriving."
Emma Hayes announced a 26-player United States women’s national team roster for friendlies against Portugal and New Zealand. Trinity Rodman and Jaedyn Shaw returned to full-team call-ups for the first time since April. Rodman missed the previous two camps with a recurring back injury; her only appearance since the 2024 Olympic gold was an April goal against Brazil. Shaw struggled after a January trade to the North Carolina Courage, spent recent windows with the U-23 team, and has regained form after a summer move to NJ/NY Gotham FC. Hayes emphasized maximizing training minutes and beginning the build toward 2027 World Cup qualifying.
