USMNT squad: Antonee Robinson returns as Pochettino calls up 26 for friendlies | USA

Maurisio Pochettino called the list of 26 players for the upcoming comradely matches of the US male team against Ecuador and Australia, which includes many familiar names, and has one very noticeable omission.

Midfielder Bournemut Tyler Adams, the usual support of the team, which the US captain at the 2022 World Cup, was not included, and Pochettino reported that the midfielder was expecting his second child in the coming days.

The detachment is also notable for some significant income. Antoni Robinson returned for the first time since the knee operation after the end of the last season of the prime minister, like forward Patrick Agemang after his summer transfer from Charlotte to Derby district.

Some famous players will be missed by comradely matches from the injury, the group that includes ATLETICO Madrid, Johnny Cardoso, midfielder Borussia Möntshengladbach Gio Reyna and PSV Eindhoven Duo Forwardo Pepi and Defender Sergiño Dest.

The United States will play Ecuador on October 10 at 8:30 pm on east time in Austin, Texas, and then go north in Colorado to play Australia on October 14 at 21:00 east.

Here is the choice of Pochettino and some initial conclusions:

Goalkeeper

Chris Brady (Chicago Fire), Matt Friz (New York FC), Patrick Schultte (Columbus Crew

Turner returns to the team after he missed the last window, and again encounters rigid competition for shirt No. 1. This time he will compete with FC FCE from New York, which was a preferred starter of Pochettino through the golden goblet during the summer, and then. Brady joins after a firm show against Inter -Maimi in a wild victory in the middle of the week, and Schulta will hope to transfer another performance of the camp into some game time with the first team.

Defenders

Max Arfsten (Columbus Crew, Cameron Carter-Vickers (Celtic), Alex Freeman (Orlando City), Mark Mckenzie, Tim Ream (Charlotte FC), Chris Richards (Crystal Palace), Antonee Robinson (Fulham), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati)

Returning Robinsons, Antoni and Miles distinguish a group that is largely the same as the last windows, behind the noticeable exceptions of Tristan Blackmon (through injury) and Nokhkai Banks. Robinson Fulham just made a bench behind his club for his club since he returned from the off -season operation on his knee, but he is suitable enough to join the US team after his absence this summer. With five central backs (Carter-Vikers, Mackenzi, Ream, Richards and Miles Robinson), it seems likely that Pochettino can return to form with three attacks, which worked so well for the United States in a friendly victory over Japan the last time.

Midfielders

Brenden Aaronson (LEEDS United), Diego Luna (Real Salt Lake), Weston Mckennie (Juventus), Aidan Morris (MiddleSbrough), Cristian Roldan (Seattle Sounds), James Sands (FC ST Pauli), Tanner Tessmann (Olympique Lyon), Malik Tillman (Bayer Leverkusen)

McCannie has been returning to the American team for the first time since the final in the League of Catastrophic Nations in March, with a club duty officer who plays for summer games, and Pochettino missed him for the last couple of friendly matches. Its role will be interesting to tear out, especially in the absence of Adams. Morris returns for the first time after the debut international window Pochettino a year ago, and Sands first appears. Both started well for their clubs and could become a depth option, come to the World Cup around the world with a good indicator. Yunus Musakh is another noticeable exception after Atalanta mainly leaves the bench to start the season from his new club.

Forwards

Patrick Agemang (Derby district), Falaryrin Balogun (like Monaco), Christian Pulka (Milan), Tim Viah (Marseille), Haji Wright (City of Korventry), Alex Zandzhas (Club.

Balogun and Zendhas performed well in their first challenges of the United States last time. The inclusion of agemang follows the solid beginning of life in England with the country of Derby – the striker was one of the large beneficiaries of the experimental team of Pochettino Golden Cup. Pulishic is included in this set of friendly matches in perhaps the best shape in his career.
