But he's not showing his hand yet.

Alex Morgan Targets USWNT Return After Red-Hot Start To NWSL Season

After fielding the oldest squad at both the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Summer Olympics, a changing of the guard was inevitable for the USWNT ahead of building toward the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Morgan is now the team's leading active goalscorer with 115 in 190 appearances (0.61 per game), and the 32-year-old figures to play a huge role at both this summer's Concacaf W Championship in Mexico and next summer's World Cup.

EA Sports Loses FIFA Licensing — Here’s What It Means For You
