Pulisic Among the US Staters to Miss CONCACAF Gold Cup
- Christian Pulisic and several regular starters will miss the United States' June CONCACAF Gold Cup and friendlies in the U.S. As coach Mauricio Pochettino announces a 27-man roster.
- Pulisic and his representatives requested that he be left out of the squad to recover following a heavy workload spanning roughly 120 matches for both club and country over the past two seasons, while additional absences are due to injuries and conflicts with the Club World Cup schedule.
- The team is rebuilding under Pochettino after early Copa America elimination and Nations League losses, with 16 MLS players selected, including returning Sergiño Dest and newcomers like Alex Freeman and Folarin Balogun.
- Pochettino said during a news conference that the team must fight hard and perform well to reassure fans and that everyone should see the squad's aggressiveness and commitment in every game.
- The roster omissions open opportunities for new players but limit preparation with a full-strength squad, and Pochettino will have only four brief training windows before the 2026 World Cup.
