Trinity Rodman will return to the US women’s national team for the first time since the 2024 Olympics, as head coach Emma Hayes named her in the 24-player squad that will gather in California next week for a pair of friendlies against Brazil.
Aside from Rodman, the squad is very similar to the one Hayes picked for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup, with 19 players from that team making the cut this time around. Those new inclusions include a return to the USWNT for Kanas City Current center-back Alana Cook, who will join up with the squad for the first time since 2023, and also for the first time under Hayes. Cook was initially named in the USWNT’s roster for the 2024 W Gold Cup, but had to withdraw due to injury.

The squad is also notable for the inclusion of two uncapped players: Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce and Houston Dash utility player Avery Patterson.
Hayes said on Tuesday that Patterson would be utilized as a left-back in this camp, while Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson and Chelsea forward Mia Fishel will join the team as training players. Fishel’s inclusion marks her return to a USWNT camp after a long absence due to an ACL tear, having made her first appearance for Chelsea in a year over the weekend.
The US face Brazil on 5 April at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California (5pm ET, TNT) before the rematch on 8 April at PayPal Park in San Jose (10.30pm ET, TBS).
