Gregg Berhalter called in 27 players, with established USMNT stars Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, Yunus Musah and Brenden Aaronson headlining the roster. In very good news for the USMNT, Weston McKennie was also picked after missing the final three months (16 games) of Juventus’ season after breaking his foot on Feb 22.
Among others, Sergiño Dest, Gio Reyna and Chris Richards remain unavailable due to injuries of their own.
According to Berhalter, Gianluca Busio, Ricardo Pepi and James Sands were not called up so that they could rest after completing their first European seasons, which meant the trio played nearly 18 months straight without a break due to the overlap of MLS and European seasons.
