Former Cal star Morgan is on the borderline of being on the USWNT 18-player soccer roster for the Paris Olympics. Most say she’ll be on it, but some say she won’t.
U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes is expected to announce the 18-player U.S. women’s soccer roster for the Olympics later this month, and there is growing speculation about whether former Cal star Alex Morgan will be on that roster.
Morgan was in the starting eleven for the San Diego Wave’s game this past weekend, suggesting the ankle injury that sidelined her for a month this spring is healed. However, she has yet to score a goal in National Women’s Soccer League play this year. On the field, her ability to hold up the ball, control play and endure physicality from opposing defenses to win free kicks in dangerous areas makes her stand out as a lone striker. Morgan led the counterattack to spark Dunn's opening goal in the team's most recent friendly.
This suggests that Morgan will be on the Olympic roster, and Edler provides this additional reason why Morgan is likely to be included:
