Written about him
Twelve of the 51 still have an NWSL match to play, and Hutton is not one
Of the 51 players on the U.S. preliminary list for the Concacaf W Championship, 12 play for the four clubs left in the NWSL semifinals (Washington v Utah on November 14, Gotham v Kansas City on November 15, the final on November 21), seven play in England or France, and 32 play for NWSL clubs whose seasons ended on November 1 or in the quarterfinals of November 6 to 8. Claire Hutton, who started the October 13 draw with Spain, missed Bay FC's matches on October 18 and October 24, came on in the 61st minute of its last one on November 1, and has no league match left. Jaelin Howell, who replaced her against Spain, and Rose Lavelle, both listed questionable by the league on November 7, started Gotham's quarterfinal and play Kansas City at Icahn Stadium on Sunday. The United States play El Salvador on November 27 in Mansfield, Texas.
Dahlien tore her ACL in a federation camp, and the November ledger kept moving
Seattle Reign FC placed Maddie Dahlien on the season-ending injury list on October 17 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered at U.S. under-23 camp, five days after she started the under-23s' match against the Dominican Republic. The NWSL's availability report of October 18 lists Claire Hutton (leg) and Avery Patterson (foot) as questionable; neither was in her club's matchday squad on Sunday. Hutton started against Spain on October 13 and Patterson on October 10. Jeff Kassouf's ESPN board on Tuesday lists Hutton as a lock and Patterson in the squad. The United States play El Salvador in the Concacaf W Championship quarterfinal on November 27 in Mansfield, Texas, for a place at the 2027 World Cup.
Sanchez and Swanson came back and scored, and the bench drew level with Spain
Player ratings for the 19 U.S. players who played in the 2-2 draw with Spain at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa., on October 13, 2026. Ashley Sanchez and Mallory Swanson rate highest after each scored. Phallon Tullis-Joyce, Emily Fox, Claire Hutton and Trinity Rodman rate lowest; the back pass and clearance before Spain's second goal sit with the first two.
