USWNT World Cup squad announced: Which 23 players made Jill Ellis' roster?

Jill Ellis has named her roster for this summer's tournament in France, where the USA will look to defend their title as world champions

With just over a month until the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup kicks off in France, United States women's national team coach Jill Ellis has named her 23-woman roster.

The USWNT will take on Chile, Sweden and Thailand in Group F this summer, with them firm favourites to top that group as they bid to retain their world title.

Most of Ellis' final squad has been all but confirmed for many months now, but that didn't stop a handful of surprise names sneaking in at the expense of some unfortunate names.
