Daily News | Julie Ertz makes stunning return to USWNT in last games before World Cup roster is set
. A U.S. Soccer spokesperson said as far as the record books show, that’s the most on a single roster in program history, though the stat hasn’t always been kept.is not fully recovered from a torn ACL yet, though, so she’s not on the team. Because she plays in Europe, it’s not worth having her in camp just to be part of the group like Davidson was in February.
Megan Rapinoe is also out because of a recent lower leg injury, with U.S. Soccer offering no details so far. The biggest coach-decided absence beyond Coffey seems to be Margaret Purce. Unless Andonovski takes more wingers to the World Cup than expected, the projected group right now is Smith, Mallory Swanson, Lynn Williams and Rapinoe.If injuries halt any of them, Purce and Trinity Rodman are next in line – and with Rodman on this roster, she might have the edge.The U.S. will play Ireland on April 8 in Austin, Texas , and on April 11 in St. Louis . The latter game will be a homecoming for U.S.
American teams have played many times in St. Louis, and the city has produced decades of World Cup stars. But it’s taken this long for there to be a proper soccer venue in town. Until now, U.S. teams played at the Cardinals’ baseball stadium, once at the Rams’ old dome, and a small venue in the suburbs. Now they have a true home.
