Most of her selections have been set in stone for months, players such as Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn and many others who have remained in the mix since the 2015 championship or have figured into Ellis’s plans the past two years.
That, however, does not mean there will not be a few surprises when the roster is unveiled around 1 p.m. ET.
