Trinity Rodman will miss a trio of upcoming matches for the U.S. women's national soccer team as she continues to recover from a back injury.

Coach Emma Hayes named her roster Thursday for games against Iceland on Oct. 24 in Austin, Texas, and Oct. 27 in Nashville. The Americans then host Argentina on Oct. 30 in Louisville, Kentucky.

The matches are the first for the United States since winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics . The roster includes 18 members of the team that played in France.

"There's no doubt that the summer was brilliant, and we want to make these three games about celebrating some amazing accomplishments and players, but at the same time, we can't rest on any laurels," Hayes said in a statement. "Our focus is forward, our focus is on our process, and we want to keep chasing new heights."

Hayes called up 26 players for the camp, but will suit up 23 players for each match.
