The soccer world is buzzing as the 10th edition of the 2025 SheBelieves Cup is about to kick off, but the latest roster drop has left fans doing a double take. While plenty of exciting names made the cut, some major stars are missing—including the electric trio known as Triple Espresso (Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson, and Sophia Wilson) and defensive powerhouse Naomi Girma. Naturally, the question on everyone’s mind is—why?
Turns out Sophia Wilson isn’t quite physically ready to hit the pitch just yet, and Girma? She’s still working her way back from a calf injury. The timing couldn’t be trickier for the newly minted Chelsea FC defender, who just made history as the first female player involved in a $1 million transfer. But amid all this chaos, USWNT’s Sophia Wilson can’t help but feel a wave of concern after Naomi Girma’s latest update following her SheBelieves Cup absence.
Naomi Girma hopped on Instagram on February 12, posting a little life update with a cozy montage of snapshots captioned “settling in .” The post had it all: grind mode at Chelsea’s training camp, some aesthetically pleasing coffee and food moments, dreamy orange skies, and a few sweet shots with her brother, Nathaniel. She even threw in some squad pics, including one with her new Chelsea teammate, Catarina Macario. It’s just a little peek into her fresh chapter in Chelsea, right?
But hold up—one comment had people doing a double take! Sophia Wilson slid into the replies with a playful-yet-low-key-sad message, saying, “but not like too settled bc you’re so far away from your best friend right.” Oof. Looks like someone’s feeling the long-distance bestie blues!
