Christian Pulisic has been left out of the United States roster for the initial fixtures of coach Mauricio Pochettino's second term, while 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan was among 13 newcomers named on Thursday with the opportunity to become the youngest player to feature for the national team in 20 years.
Yunus Musah, a veteran of the 2022 World Cup who last played for the Americans in March 2025, was also named in the 28-player selection for upcoming friendlies against Peru (Sept. 26 in Orlando, Florida), Chile (Sept. 29 in St. Louis), Mexico (Oct. 3 in Glendale, Arizona), and Canada (Oct. 6 in St. Paul, Minnesota).
