Pochettino will face Panama and Mexico in friendlies in October, as USMNT fans are eagerly anticipating his first camp in charge.
The USMNT will take on Panama in Austin, Texas on Oct. 12, then head to Guadalajara to face Mexico on Oct. 15.
Any big surprises?
Zack Steffen and Gianluca Busio are back in the fold, while the usual suspects are all called up and stars Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie will lead this team.
Steffen’s recall is particularly interesting as the USMNT goalkeeper position is wide-open.
Celtic captain Cameron Carter-Vickers is missing through injury, with Chris Richards, Tyler Adams, Sergino Dest, and Gio Reyna also out due to injury issues. That’s not the end of it.
Three players from the original roster (Folarin Balogun, Johnny Cardoso and Tim Weah) had to withdraw due to injury. They were replaced with Brandon Vazquez, Tanner Tessmann and Alex Zendejas.
Below is the roster in full.
