The injury bug continues to bite the USWNT, but this time in a major way.
The USWNT’s longtime defender and captain, Becky Sauerbrunn, will not be included on the team’s roster for the 2023 Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia, which starts in a month.
The Athletic first reported the news.
Becky Sauerbrunn, aged 38, has been a part of the USWNT team that won two World Cups - one in 2019 and the other in 2015 and was a huge piece in the team’s quest for an unprecedented World Cup three-peat.
