Overview

• U.S. Soccer announced a 22-man squad for friendlies vs. South Korea on Sept. 6 in Harrison, New Jersey, and Japan on Sept. 9 in Columbus, Ohio, with a 23rd player to be added.
• Christian Pulisic was recalled after skipping the summer, and Pochettino said he has not spoken with him since the dispute and considers the matter in the past.
• Weston McKennie was left out as Pochettino urged the Juventus midfielder to secure regular minutes following Club World Cup duty and limited early-season action.
• Gio Reyna was not selected following his transfer to Borussia Mönchengladbach, and goalkeeper Matt Turner also missed out after a recent club move back to MLS.
• The roster tilts toward MLS and includes four potential debutants — Jonathan Klinsmann, Roman Celentano, Noahkai Banks and Tristan Blackmon — while returns include Sergiño Dest and Tim Weah, and injuries sidelined options such as Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, Antonee Robinson and Malik Tillman.
