Alex Morgan headlines USWNT 18-player roster for Tokyo Olympics; Harris, Krieger left off list

Orlando Pride star Alex Morgan will lead the U.S. women’s national team to Tokyo for the postponed Olympic Games this summer, headlining an 18-player roster selected by coach Vlatko Andonovski

The group included familiar stars like Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle along with Julie Ertz and Tobin Heath, who were previously questionable with injuries.

The team will kick off the Tokyo Olympics on July 21 with a rematch against Sweden, the team that previously eliminated the Americans from the 2016 Olympics.

A year later than previously planned, Morgan has officially completed her goal to return to the Olympic roster after giving birth to her daughter Charlie last summer.
