Sophia Wilson (25), who last played for the US women's national team on October 27, 2024, returns to the squad for upcoming friendlies against Japan. Wilson, who announced her pregnancy in March 2025, recently resumed playing for the Portland Thorns after giving birth to her daughter Gianna in September 2025. Tierna Davidson, a defender for Gotham FC, also makes her comeback after a year-long recovery from a torn ACL. Both players are included in a 23-player roster announced by coach Emma Hayes. The USWNT faces a formidable opponent in Japan, who dominated the AFC Women's Asian Cup earlier this year, scoring 29 goals and conceding only one. The first match is set for April 11, 2026, in San Jose, California, followed by games in Seattle and suburban Denver on April 14 and April 17, respectively.
