Alex Morgan was not named to the team for the first time since 2008.
The Paris Olympics prep continues for the U.S. women's national team.
After two straight friendly wins over South Korea in early June, new head coach Emma Hayes has had more time to get familiar with the 18 players she chose to play in the 2024 Games.
Though longtime veteran Alex Morgan won't be in the squad, there's still plenty of star power at her disposal with Sophia Smith, Alyssa Naeher, Lindsey Horan and Naomi Girma involved, among others.
Next on the friendly list is a battle against rivals Mexico, which had previously upset them 2-0 in the 2024 Gold Cup group stage. The U.S., though, went on to win the tournament.
