US EditionWeston McKennie, Antonee Robinson, Matt Turner Back on US Roster for October Friendies
Christian Pulisic leads a 26-player U.S. roster selected to prepare for 2026 World Cup with key returns and a mix of MLS and European-based talent, coach says.
- On Thursday, United States men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino named a 26-player roster headlined by Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Antonee Robinson for two October friendlies in Austin, Texas and Commerce City, Colorado.
- Seeking a cultural reset, Mauricio Pochettino recalled Weston McKennie, Antonee Robinson and goalkeeper Matt Turner to test options and refresh the squad.
- Focusing on depth, the list includes four goalkeepers, eight defenders, eight midfielders and six forwards, as the full roster shows.
- A notable omission is Tyler Adams, AFC Bournemouth midfielder and 2022 World Cup captain, while injuries left PSV's Sergino Dest and Ricardo Pepi unavailable for Thursday's roster.
- Pochettino then will have just four more friendlies before naming players for a pre-World Cup training camp, as Canada, Mexico and the United States have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup next summer.
