Naomi Girma, the defender who made a world-record $1.1 million transfer to Chelsea, will rejoin the United States women's national team for the first time since December. Girma, hailed by coach Emma Hayes as an exceptional defender, aims to play in upcoming matches against China or Jamaica. Head coach Hayes is exploring various strategies and has called up new players, including Kerry Abello and Lo'eau LaBonta, who could become the oldest debutante in USWNT's history. The team is facing its most competitive goalkeeper selection in years, further highlighting a shift in strategy.
"We have two different types of opponents ahead of us, so we'll have to be creative in breaking down those teams in different ways."
