Savannah DeMelo, an attacking midfielder for Racing Louisville in the National Women's Soccer League, is the only player on the USWNT World Cup roster who has yet to make her senior international debut. Despite this, her performance in the NWSL and her skills on the field, including creativity, quickness, and game-changing ability, earned her a spot on the team. DeMelo's vision, speed of play, set-piece threat, and defensive effort make her a valuable asset for the USWNT, although she will have to compete with other established players for minutes.
USWNT captain Becky Sauerbrunn will miss the 2023 Women's World Cup due to a foot injury. Veteran defender Kelley O'Hara will make the 23-player roster despite also missing time with injury. Racing Louisville midfielder Savannah DeMelo and Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury will also make the cut. Andonovski's emphasis on club form is reflected in the inclusion of Kingsbury, who ranks second in the NWSL with 0.91 goals against per 90.
Becky Sauerbrunn, the captain of the US women's national team, will not be included in the team's roster for the 2023 Women's World Cup due to a foot injury. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury, midfielder Savannah DeMelo, and defender Kelley O'Hara will be on the roster. O'Hara's inclusion will provide a veteran presence to replace Sauerbrunn's leadership, while DeMelo's addition is a surprise given the coach's midfield experiments. Kingsbury's inclusion is also unexpected, likely at the expense of AD Franch as the team's third-string goalkeeper.
