CHICAGO – U.S. women’s national team forward Mallory Pugh will not travel with the team to North Carolina for the second leg of a two-game set against Korea Republic due to a right hamstring injury .

Pugh suffered at the end of the first half in the 3-1 victory in New Orleans Thursday night.

Midfielder Andi Sullivan, who started the match at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and played the first half to earn her fifth cap in her first WNT action in almost a year, will return to Stanford University to play in her college game on the weekend.

U.S. head coach Jill Ellis has called up North Carolina Courage midfielder McCall Zerboni, who has played a crucial role in her club’s success over the past two seasons while partnering in the center midfield with Samantha Mewis.

Zerboni helped the Western New York Flash to the 2016 NWSL league title and after the club moved to North Carolina for this season, helped the Courage win the NWSL Shield and earn a place in the championship game. She was named to the 2017 NWSL Best XI.

With the addition of Zerboni, the U.S. will have a roster of 19 players in North Carolina for the match and Ellis will name 18 to suit up for the match.

The USA will face South Korea again at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. Sunday (2 p.m. ET on ESPN).
