Morgan, a four-time Olympic veteran, was the most notable absence on the 18-player roster that Hayes announced on Wednesday.
The Olympic roster is smaller than the 23 players who are included on teams for the Women’s World Cup and other competitions. Hayes saw just the games against South Korea with the team in-person after she arrived in the United States from Chelsea. Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher was included in the squad despite a recent thigh injury that kept her out of the team’s last two matches. Naeher recently returned to play for her NWSL team, the Chicago Red Stars.
Former coach Vlatko Andonovski resigned from the US team after last year’s disappointing finish at the Women’s World Cup. Twila Kilgore led the team in the interim while awaiting Hayes’ return, and now serves as an assistant coach.
