Rodman, Swanson, Wilson reunited in latest USWNT squad - ESPN

Forward Mallory Swanson has been called up for the United States for the first time since giving birth in November. She will join the USWNT for a pair of away games against Brazil on June 6 and June 9.

Swanson's return, along with forward Sophia Wilson's recent return from maternity leave, reunites the self-proclaimed «Triple Espresso» forward line of Swanson, Wilson and Trinity Rodman for the first time since the 2024 Olympic gold medal match. Swanson scored the winning goal in that game against Brazil.

«It's fantastic for our team, both on and off the field, to have Trinity and our two soccer moms back on the same roster,» USWNT head coach Emma Hayes said in a statement. «However, we recognize the importance of preparing for World Cup qualifying and the need for the group to come together in that process. We need to build connections between players, and with limited time before qualifying, every minute counts.»

Hayes and U.S. Soccer announced the 26-player USWNT roster for the trip Wednesday. The pair of games against Brazil will take place just over a year before the 2027 World Cup kicks off there.

Hayes had said that she would bring a roster of players that she expects to be at the World Cup, but she is without three potential starters due to injuries. Midfielder Sam Coffey just underwent minor knee surgery. Forward Catarina Macario and defender Naomi Girma remain sidelined without clear specifics regarding their injuries or return dates.

Swanson's return follows that of Wilson, who earned her first USWNT minutes in April after giving birth in September. The pair of maternity leaves and Rodman's injuries have kept the trio from playing together since the Olympic final on Aug. 10, 2024.
