U.S. coach Emma Hayes has decided to assemble a roster of primarily domestic players for the team’s upcoming training camp, allowing European-based players to take a break after a demanding club season. This decision is aimed at ensuring that players are well-rest, and ready for the next challenges. Hayes explained that the choice to call up a roster composed mostly of domestic players was made to provide rest for those who have been overworked during the season.
The move is expected to have a positive impact on the team’s performance in the upcoming matches. By allowing European-based players to rest, Hayes is ensuring that they will be in peak condition for the next games. This is a strategic decision that prioritizes the players’ health and performance over immediate results.
Hayes has emphasized that the decision was made with the long-term success of the team in mind. She noted that the players who are currently at home will have the opportunity to recover and prepare for the next season. The coach also mentioned that the training camp will focus on building team cohesion and enhancing individual skills in a less pressurized environment.
