Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor has said Sam Mewis is "very unlikely" to join up with the U.S. national team ahead of the SheBelieves Cup next week.
Mewis has not played since she injured her ankle in last month's USWNT friendly win over Colombia, missing Man City's past four league matches.
City have still managed to win all four of those games, including Friday's 3-0 victory over local rivals Manchester United.
