Jill Ellis has named the USWNT roster for the 2019 World Cup in France. While the top half of the squad has been set in stone for some time now, there are still some major surprises, including recalls for veterans Ali Krieger and Morgan Brian. Krieger’s return comes after going roughly two years without a call-up before returning to the fold for the team’s final pre-tournament camp last month.
The Washington Spirit have two players on the roster, with Rose Lavelle a probable starter in the midfield and Mallory Pugh figuring to see regular minutes as an attacking substitute.
