USWNT vs. Japan, 2023 SheBelieves Cup: What to watch for

The United States Women’s National Team are in Nashville, where they take on Japan in their second match of the 2023 SheBelieves Cup. The USWNT are coming off a 2-0 victory over Canada in the first match, with a brace by Mallory Swanson.

The USWNT will try to continue their improvement as a team, but the injury bug seems to be swirling around camp. Rose Lavelle picked up a knock in training and was ruled out of the first match, while Naomi Girma seemed to pick up something during warmups. Without both players in the lineup, the USWNT still looked in form against a tough Canada squad.
