Defender Naomi Girma will join the United States women's national team next week for the first time since her world-record $1.1 million transfer to Chelsea in January.

A standout player in the National Women's Soccer League, it is surprising to think that midfielder Lo LaBonta had yet to receive a USWNT call-up in her 11 seasons as a professional. The Kansas City Current player was named in the NWSL best XI in 2022 and was named in the second-best XI in 2024.

Defender Naomi Girma has been out with an injury but will return to action for two upcoming games for the U.S. women's soccer team, including one in St. Louis.
