Emma Hayes names 26 players for the USWNT’s October tests against Spain, with final looks before qualifying and questions around Jaedyn Shaw and Naomi Girma.

U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player roster for October camp ahead of two matches against reigning World Cup champion Spain. Sam Coffey and Naomi Girma return after missing June’s games in Brazil while recovering from injuries. The group also includes Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Wilson - the trio known as “Triple Espresso” - along with NWSL Golden Boot leader Ashley Sanchez and four uncapped players.
