United States women’s national team coach Vlatko Andonovski has released his roster for the final preparation matches for this summer’s Olympics in Tokyo.
Andonovski called up a 23-player crew that does not include injured Julie Ertz and only includes Tobin Heath as a training player.
The USWNT meets Portugal on June 10 and Jamaica on June 13, both in Houston, before heading across Texas to meet Nigeria in Austin.
