Forward Trinity Rodman will return to the United States women's national team for the first time since its Olympic gold medal victory in August.

Rodman is among the 24 players whom USWNT coach Emma Hayes has called in for games against Brazil on April 5 and April 8, U.S. Soccer announced Tuesday.

The matches, which will take place just outside Los Angeles and San Jose, California, respectively, serve as a rematch of last year's Olympic final, which the Americans won 1-0.

Rodman returned to the field for the Washington Spirit on Saturday in her first competitive match since the NWSL Championship on Nov. 25.

She had played through back pains that ailed her throughout the fall and kept her out of the past four USWNT training camps.

Rodman entered Saturday's game in the 57th minute of the Spirit's 2-0 loss to the Kansas City Current.

She appeared to score an equalizer one minute later, but the potential goal was scrapped after video review.

She scored three goals at the Olympics as part of the self-proclaimed "Triple Espresso" forward line alongside Sophia Wilson (formerly Smith) and Mallory Swanson, both of whom have also been away from the USWNT since the Olympics.

Wilson recently announced she is pregnant and is on maternity leave. Swanson has been on personal leave from club and country since January.

"I have not had the chance to work with the Triple Espresso, Rose [Lavelle], Naomi [Girma] together since the Olympics, so it's a long time, but to get one of them [Rodman] back is really exciting," Hayes said.

"Of course, [I] have to urge a little bit of caution [with Rodman], because she's had an ongoing back complaint. I think she's on the right road to that, but it can be quite easy to sort of trigger it. You can go from a position of a managed return to play, to too much. So, I have to try and find the sweet spot in camp to reintegrate her back in the team, but also to manage her, because she has a long season ahead."

Hayes continues to experiment with "less experienced players continuing to try to prove themselves," as she said in a statement, in the early buildup to the 2027 World Cup.

Eleven players on the roster have 10 caps or fewer, with an average age of 25.3 years old.

"All of the players know they have to earn every roster spot, every starting spot and every minute they get as a finisher off the bench," Hayes said. "Working with players who are striving for consistency in elite performance, so they can keep getting call-ups and keep exceling at this level, is an exciting process and one that continues with these two games."

The young faces include 17-year-old midfielder Lily Yohannes, who will return after impressing at the SheBelieves Cup despite the Americans' loss to Japan to concede the tournament title.

Midfielder Claire Hutton, 19, is the other teenager on the roster. Houston Dash full-back Avery Patterson has also received her first senior call-up.

Hayes has also recalled several players who have been absent from the USWNT since she took over as coach last year.

Center-back Alana Cook and forward Ashley Hatch return to the USWNT in a training camp with games for the first time under Hayes (Hatch trained with the team in January). Each player's last appearance for the team was in late 2023.

Forward Mia Fishel will also join the USWNT as a training player in camp, along with goalkeeper Angelina Anderson. Fishel tore an ACL in USWNT camp in February 2024 and just returned to the field for Chelsea FC's senior team on Sunday. Anderson will train alongside the three rostered goalkeepers: Jane Campbell, Mandy McGlynn and Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

Hayes has said that she will use 2025 to evaluate who could be the next starting goalkeeper following the retirement of longtime starter Alyssa Naeher.

"If you think about this, prior to when even Alyssa [Naeher] made the No. 1 her own, it takes a period of time to be able to solidify that," Hayes said. "And I think it's fair to say we've got a lot of really good quality goalkeepers. Who will emerge from that as the No. 1? I don't know, but they have to take their chances when they get them.

"This is a performance-related business, and each and every opportunity they get, they have to make the most of it, because, of course, that will impact my decision making as we progress. This camp, there will be changes in goal again."
