Naomi Girma, Catarina Macario and Alyssa Thompson have all been selected by former Blues head coach Emma Hayes for a double-header of friendlies over the November international break.

Hayes' side will play Italy twice in the Sunshine State, with the initial match hosted in Orlando and the second in Fort Lauderdale.

First the Stars and Stripes will face Italy at the Inter & Co Stadium on Saturday 29 November before taking on the same opposition at the Chase Stadium on Tuesday 2 December, with both kick-offs at 12am GMT.

Thompson joined Girma and Macario at Chelsea on deadline day and has scored three goals already this season in seven starts in all competitions for her new side. That tally includes a sublime curling finish to open the scoring against Liverpool last weekend, as she continues to impress at her new club.

Meanwhile, Macario netted a brace in our 6-0 win over St. Polten in the Women's Champions League last Tuesday to get herself off the mark for the campaign.

Defender Girma has made two appearances against St. Polten and Liverpool as part of her comeback from injury, which kept her out at the beginning of our domestic campaign.
