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.

As the saying goes, “Sometimes the best solution is to rest, relax and recharge. It’s hard to be your best on empty,” and Emma Hayes seems to be taking that wisdom to heart. USWNT’s upcoming friendlies against England and the Netherlands have stirred discussions in the soccer community,

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.
