New USWNT boss Emma Hayes will certainly be watching on eagerly as several members of this U.S. U-17 side could very well have national team futures once the Chelsea manager arrives later this year.
Hayes is set to take over just ahead of this summer's Olympics, which means there likely won't be a wild shakeup in her initial tournament in charge of the USWNT. However, one major part of Hayes' to-do list is integrating young players, with the U.S. in desperate need for a generational shift at the senior level.
Several of those players have already broken through, with the likes of Jaedyn Shaw, Mia Fishel and Olivia Moultrie making their way into the team since last summer's World Cup disaster, but members of this U-17 team will be hoping to be in their positions by the time the next World Cup rolls around.
