CHICAGO (AP) — Star forward Abby Wambach and top goalkeeper Hope Solo are on the U.S. roster for the national women’s team’s first match in England.
The Americans will play at Brisbane Road in London, home of the English League 1 team Leyton Orient, against the England squad. The match will be part of a 20-day training camp in the United Kingdom for the Americans as they prepare for this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Germany.
The roster features 22 of the 24 players who won the 2011 Algarve Cup earlier this month in Portugal. Added to the team is midfielder Meghan Klingenberg, who was on the U.S. Under-23 team that recently won the Four Nations Tournament in Spain.
Solo is at the end of a lengthy recovery from right shoulder surgery last September.
