Ashley Sanchez returns to the U.S. women’s national team roster for upcoming friendly matches against Spain, after a long absence, according to multiple reports. The North Carolina Courage forward is named among the players selected for the U.S. squad for the two-game series.
Both outlets describe Sanchez’s return as tied to her recent form with her club. She has been producing goals for the Courage during the current NWSL season. The Athletic reports she has scored 20 goals in 26 league appearances this season, underscoring a turnaround in her output. Yahoo Sports similarly frames her resurgence as a key factor in her national-team recall.
While the sources differ mainly in emphasis—one highlighting her return and the other focusing on her “resurgence”—they align on the central point: Sanchez is back with the USWNT for friendlies against Spain and the selection is linked to her strong goal-scoring run.
