USWNT roster: Cat Macario, Mal Swanson return, and 16-year-old Lily Yohannes gets her first call

The U.S. women's national team on Tuesday dropped its most interesting roster in years, headlined by two high-profile comebacks and a 16-year-old debutant.

Mal Swanson and Cat Macario were the big names. They've returned from patellar tendon and ACL tears, respectively, after one and two entire years away from the USWNT.

But the most intriguing name was Lily Yohannes, a multi-national teenager starring in Holland and coveted by the Dutch national team, as well as some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

Yohannes, 16, was born in Virginia, but moved to the Netherlands with her soccer-crazed family as a child, and grew outside American soccer's traditional developmental systems.
