Lindsey Horan has missed out on the U.S. women's national team roster for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup due to a quadriceps injury.
The star midfielder was a notable absentee as Jill Ellis named a 23-player squad for the tournament on Tuesday.
With Horan out, there should be more minutes available in central midfield for the likes of Samantha Mewis, McCall Zerboni, Andi Sullivan and Danielle Colaprico, all of whom are battling for roster spots for this summer's World Cup.

Morgan Brian, another player in the mix for a spot, was left off the roster, a troubling sign for her chances of featuring in France this summer.
