The NWSL released Thursday the list of 34 federation players from the United States (23) and Canada (11) who will participate in the 2018 season. North Carolina Courage carries the most (six), with the Royals trailing them by one player.
O’Hara was named Wednesday to the 26-player preliminary USWNT roster for the SheBelieves Cup from March 1 to 7. Sauerbrunn and Rodriguez were left off due to injury. Sauerbrunn was scratched from January national team camp when her medical evaluation revealed a stress reaction in her left foot. Rodriguez still is recovering from an ACL tear she suffered that required surgery in FC Kansas City’s season opener last season.
