The USMNT showed a number of worrying signs in a 2-0 defeat to Japan on Friday, in the Yanks’ second-to-last friendly before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Christian Pulisic missed the United States' next-to-last warm-up match before the World Cup against Japan on Friday in Germany because of an unspecified injury.
Turner, 28, who started eight of the USA's 14 World Cup qualifiers, joined the Gunners in June on a long-term deal from the New England Revolution after being named Major League Soccer's goalkeeper of the year in 2021. However Turner has failed to dislodge first-choice goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale since moving to London, and has not featured in any of the Gunners' seven Premier League fixtures to date. Turner, though, does not believe a lack of minutes will hamper his match sharpness as the USA prepare for friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia -- the team's final games before heading to the World Cup in Qatar.
Experimentation time is over. With only two friendlies left before the United States men's national team begins World Cup play against Wales on Nov. 21, there's no time left for coach Gregg Berhalter to waste on determining the final, mostly inconsequential roster spots.
The first-ever winter World Cup is a little over two months away.
Manchester City defender Issa Kabore says he does want to return to the Etihad, and instead stay at loan club Marseille.
