Head coach Emma Hayes has named a 24-player roster for the upcoming matches, with over 70,000 tickets already sold for the USWNT's meeting against England at Wembley Stadium on Nov. 30. The national team will then head to Haag Stadium and face the Dutch on Dec.

It seems Emma Hayes has put Caffeine on the back burner in her diet. Well, not quite – but everyone’s beloved “Triple Espresso,” which includes Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, and Mallory Swanson, is notably absent from the USWNT’s upcoming friendly roster.

The trio, who played starring roles for the USA at the Paris Olympics, are not included in the 24-player squad due to what are being described as "nagging injuries"

The big news ahead of the roster announcement was Ajax midfielder Lily Yohannes committing to the U.S. She’ll be the only teenager on the national team this time around, as both Alyssa Thompson and Jaedyn Shaw turn 20 years old this month.

Emma Hayes announces the absence of Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson, and Sophia Smith for upcoming friendlies against England and the Netherlands.

While most NWSL players are now finished with club matches for the season, Emily Sams of the Orlando Pride, as well as Casey Krueger and Hal Hershfelt of the Spirit, will compete for the league championship this upcoming weekend before heading out for international duty abroad.

When Trinity Rodman looks back on her summer at the Paris Olympics, she can’t help but let a spark of excitement sneak into her smile. For her, it wasn’t solely about clinching gold; it was about rediscovering her love for soccer.
