Four Washington Spirit players on USWNT roster for Australia friendlies

U.S. Soccer has announced the USWNT squad for two upcoming friendlies against Australia later this month, with Vlatko Andonovski including four Washington Spirit players on his 22-player roster. The Spirit contingent includes Emily Sonnett and Andi Sullivan, who have been regular call-ups of late, while Andonovski has also included NWSL Golden Boot winner Ashley Hatch and young playmaker Ashley Sanchez.

The U.S. will be one of the first sports teams to visit Australia from abroad since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. They’ll play in Sydney on November 27 (which thanks to the time difference will be broadcast on November 26 at 11pm Eastern on Fox Sports 2), and then againin Newcastle on November 30 (4:05am Eastern, ESPN).
