Portland Thorns coach Mark Parsons has had to make several tough decisions as he has picked lineups this season, especially when he's had the full roster available.

Saturday, it gets tougher. His pickings are slim.

Portland (6-0-5, 23 points) plays host to New Jersey's Sky Blue FC (3-3-4, 13 points) Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Providence Park in a National Women's Soccer League match. The Thorns' roster significantly depleted by national team call-ups ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, which starts in early August.

In? Amandine Henry, who will play in her fourth Thorns match since coming to Portland from Olympique Lyonnaise. Parsons said she'll head to the French national team on Sunday.

Out?

Thorns captain Christine Sinclair already has left to join the Canada Women's National Team.

And five Thorns -- Allie Long, Tobin Heath, Meghan Klingenberg, Emily Sonnett and Lindsey Horan -- already have headed out to join the U.S. Women's National Team.

So the team he'll put out Saturday hasn't had a lot of time to jell.

"I'm not going to hide from it," Parsons said. "We're going to be way behind," Sky Blue in terms of developing team chemistry."

Thorns defender McKenzie Berryhill, who didn't go on the road trip to Orlando last week (coach's decision), is expected to be available Saturday.

Thorns defender Kat Williamson, out with a meniscus problem since late April, won't play Saturday but is expected to return to training late in the week or early next week.

So Portland will put its 11-game unbeaten streak on the line, "with a bit of a different strategy," Parsons said.

"We feel very confident where we're at," he said. "We want to put ourselves in a position to win the game."
