Hayes prepares for her debut as head coach with a 23-player squad for upcoming friendlies against South Korea, amidst key player absences.

Star goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher sidelined due to a thigh injury, raising concerns ahead of the Olympics.
Veterans Alex Morgan, Naomi Girma, and Jaedyn Shaw included despite recent injuries.
Three uncapped players—Sam Staab, Hal Hershfelt, and Lily Yohannes—earn their first call-ups.
