U.S. men’s national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has had another devastating blow to his pool of players for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking the third injury setback of April and coming just over a month out from his final decision deadline of May 26. The Argentine boss will be forced to reevaluate his options.
Goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann, son of former USMNT manager and German legend Jürgen Klinsmann, suffered a broken neck on Saturday while playing for Italian side Cesena. The 29-year-old and hopeful World Cup backup was stretchered off the field after a collision in stoppage time that caused a fracture of his first cervical vertebra, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
