Morgan omitted from USA women's Olympics football squad

New USA head coach Emma Hayes named her 18-player squad for the tournament and there was no place for the 34-year-old, who has scored 123 goals in 224 appearances for the national side. Hayes opted for Trinity Rodman, Jaedyn Shaw, Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson as her main forward options in the squad which is looking to secure a fifth Olympic gold and a first since 2012. Morgan was part of the USA team which won gold at the London Games in 2012 and was also a key part of the 2015 and 2019 World Cup winning teams.
