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.
- For October 10, United States manager Mauricio Pochettino announced a 26-player roster led by Pulisic, McKennie and Robinson for upcoming friendlies in Austin and Commerce City.
- Seeking a cultural reset, Mauricio Pochettino recalled Weston McKennie, Antonee Robinson and goalkeeper Matt Turner to test options and refresh the team.
- The roster balance shows four goalkeepers, eight defenders, eight midfielders and six forwards, including 10 MLS players and 15 players not in September camp.
- A notable omission is Tyler Adams, AFC Bournemouth midfielder and 2022 World Cup captain, while injuries left PSV Eindhoven’s Sergino Dest, Ricardo Pepi and others unavailable.
- Pochettino then will have just four more friendlies before naming players for a pre-World Cup training camp; all host nations have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup next summer.
