Between the Tournament of Nations and the UEFA Women’s EURO, both Houston and Portland are likely to see some adjustments this weekend. None of the Dash players were called up for EURO 2017, but Lydia Williams, Andressinha, Bruna, Jane Campbell, Morgan Brian, and Carli Lloyd were called up for national team duty for Australia and Brazil. (These players are supposed to back by Saturday’s game, but it will be interesting to see how many minutes they get.)
The Thorns are still missing Tobin Heath due to injury, while Nadia Nadim is currently with the Denmark National Team (who will play Austria Thursday for a spot in the EURO final).
