NEW YORK : The United States's Megan Rapinoe will take on a different role in her fourth Women's World Cup appearance, coach Vlatko Andonovski said on Wednesday, as he named his 23-player squad for the quadrennial tournament.

The 2019 Golden Boot and Golden Ball winner turns 38 next month, some two decades older than the youngest member of the U.S. squad, 18-year-old forward Alyssa Thompson.
She suffered a calf injury earlier this month playing for her club OL Reign, but coach Laura Harvey later said Rapinoe would have a short road to recovery.
