Coach Mauricio Pochettino recalled key players including Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah while excluding others due to recent club changes and playing time, aiming to strengthen for the 2026 World Cup.
- On Tuesday, Mauricio Pochettino named a 23-player United States men's national team roster for friendlies vs South Korea on September 6 in Harrison, New Jersey, and Japan in Columbus, Ohio.
- Due to club moves and injuries, the roster recalls Christian Pulisic, Sergiño Dest and Tim Weah who skipped the Gold Cup, while Giovanni Reyna and Matt Turner were omitted after recent transfers.
- Notably, Alejandro Zendejas returns for the first time since November 2024, and Josh Sargent rejoins after scoring four goals in four appearances.
