Alex Morgan would have been the last remaining player from the 2012 gold medal-winning team.
Emma Hayes has made her final decision and selected 18 players to represent the U.S. women's national team at the Paris Olympics this summer. Alex Morgan will not be one of them. Hayes called up five forwards in Crystal Dunn, Trinity Rodman, Jaedyn Shaw, Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson, leaving off the veteran striker who has played in every major tournament for the national team since the 2011 World Cup.
I think we have to look forward with a group of players that have put that World Cup behind them, and we're very much looking forward to building on the work post-World Cup. 'This is an opportunity for us to show that those learnings will take us much further than it did last time. But there is no guarantee in anything in life.' Another selection that made headlines was Korbin Albert earning a spot on her first senior level world championship roster.
