US Women's National Team head coach Pia Sundhage Tuesday announced a roster of 23 players who will leave this Monday for the United Kingdom in advance of their April 2 international friendly against England at Brisbane Road in East London, which will air live on ESPN2 at 3 p.m. Eastern time.
The game will be part of a 20-day training camp for the US prior to playing in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany June 26-July 17. After the game, the team will head to Scotland for four days, which will include a closed-door match with their country's women's team.
All but one player -- midfielder Meghan Kligenberg of the US U-23 Women's National Team -- played recently at the 2011 Algarve Cup in Portugal, where the US won their ninth tournament championship.
