USWNT head coach Jill Ellis has named 26 players who will be called into a two-week camp in Carson, CA ahead of the friendly against Republic of Ireland on January 23rd. Ellis will chop down that roster to 18 for the Ireland friendly as she prepares to do the same for her Olympic roster.
Among goalkeepers, A.D. Franch returns to the fray after a spell in Europe following a torn ACL in 2014. Olympic rosters generally carry two goalkeepers, and with Hope Solo as the WNT's #1, that backup spot is now a three-way fight, though Ashlyn Harris and Alyssa Naeher probably have an edge over Franch.
