Mia Fishel, a 24-year-old forward for the USWNT, is exploring a summer transfer from Chelsea to secure a starting position in the NWSL. This move is aimed at increasing her international appearances ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Fishel's career with the national team has been hindered by a torn ACL, but she recently returned to play for Chelsea and participated with the USWNT under-23s against Germany. Coach Emma Hayes supports her development through more playing time rather than limited appearances on the senior team.
"Yes, she could come in, sit on the bench for [the senior team], but it's much better for her to go and play in Germany and get the experiences so that these players are tracking to compete in the place that we want them to come 2027," said USWNT head coach Emma Hayes.
"Mia Fishel, 24, is in search of a summer move to become the focal point of an NWSL team's forward line with an eye toward earning more USWNT caps ahead of the 2027 World Cup."
