As the U.S. women’s national team crosses the Atlantic to face England at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, they bid farewell to goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher while welcoming head coach Emma Hayes back to her home country. Naeher is set to retire after this international window, which includes matches against England and the Netherlands.
Both teams will have to adapt as the U.S. is missing its primary attacking trio, while England will also be without several key players.
With the U.S. women currently holding the top spot in the FIFA rankings, their matchup against fourth-ranked England is more than a friendly; it’s an opportunity to reinforce their dominance in women’s soccer.

England will face challenges as star player Lauren Hemp recently suffered an ACL injury. Other key players like Ella Toone and Lauren James are also unavailable due to recent injuries, but they’re expected to return soon.
In light of Rachel Daly‘s retirement, Beth Mead, Chloe Kelly, and Alessia Russo will lead the front line.
Projected Starting Lineup for England (4-3-3): Earps (GK) — Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Carter — Stanway, Kirby, Walsh — Mead, Russo, Kelly
On the U.S. side, head coach Hayes will be missing several top forwards, including Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman, and Mallory Swanson, all left out for injury management. This leaves limited options upfront, with only Lynn Williams and Jaedyn Shaw being the notable scorers available.
Moreover, Crystal Dunn is also absent for personal reasons, and Alex Morgan has retired. Additionally, Mia Fishel and Croix Bethune are sidelined by long-term injuries.
Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher will conclude her international career in this window, marking her last appearance for the USWNT as she gets ready to retire.
