CHICAGO (AP) – Forward Mallory Pugh and defender Tierna Davidson are back with the U.S. women's national team for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup tournament.
Both players, who were on the team's World Cup-winning squad last year, were not included on the smaller roster that took part in Concacaf Olympic qualifying earlier this month.
Coach Vlatko Andonovski named the 23-player squad Wednesday. The SheBelieves Cup tournament, which includes England, Japan and Spain, begins March 5.
Players invited to the pre-tournament camp who were left off the final roster included goalkeeper Jane Campbell, defender/forward Midge Purce and midfielder Jordan DiBiasi.
