Rodman returns to USA Jan. camp roster vs. Paraguay, Chile - ESPN

Forward Trinity Rodman, who is out of contract with a club, will join the United States women's national team in training camp later this month for the first time since April 2025.

USWNT head coach Emma Hayes announced her 26-player roster on Thursday for the camp in Southern California, which will feature games against Paraguay on Jan. 24 and Chile on Jan. 27

The entire January camp roster is composed of NWSL players (except for Rodman, who is technically not under contract with an NWSL club).

The USWNT's annual January camp falls outside of FIFA windows and other teams are not required to release players.

Four players received their first senior team call-ups: forwards Maddie Dahlien and Reilyn Turner, and midfielders Riley Jackson and Sally Menti.

Rodman's return to the USWNT is another small step forward in her roller-coaster year.

She has played for the USWNT only once since playing a starring role in the 2024 Olympic gold medal triumph. She injured her back following that Olympics and returned to the USWNT in April, when she scored six minutes into her return in a 2-0 win over Brazil.

But Rodman stepped back from playing again later in April and was sidelined for several months due to her back.

She returned to league play in August before suffering another setback in October when she sprained her MCL during a Concacaf W Champions Cup with the Washington Spirit.

The injury occurred hours after she was named to the USWNT's roster for October games.

Rodman is listed on the USWNT roster as «unattached» — the only such player with that distinction, and a rarity for the USWNT through the years — because her previous contract with the Spirit has expired.

Rodman's future — and how it will shape the NWSL's future — has been
