Pulisic, Weah headline USMNT squad for Concacaf quarterfinal - ESPN

United States men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has named a 25-player roster to compete in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals this week against Jamaica.

Among those included are AC Milan's Christian Pulisic and the Juventus duo of Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah.

The quarterfinal matchup will be contested over two legs, with the first leg to be played in Kingston, Jamaica, on Nov. 14 and the second leg contested in St. Louis four days later. In 10 meetings in Jamaica, the U.S. has a record of 3-1-6.

Players will report to the camp on Sunday and Monday, with the team departing Wednesday afternoon for Jamaica.

Pochettino will have a greater number of first-choice players available compared to last month's international window, the Argentine's first in charge. Weah is recalled for the first time since his red card against Panama in the Copa América, and his subsequent suspension will carry over into the first leg in Kingston.

«We select 25 players on the roster and we try to find the best balance, thinking not only about [performing] today if not to build something for 2026,» Pochettino told a news conference on Sunday.

«That is the main objective. Of course the objective is always about to win because we need to be competitive but it's important because we are not going to have too many camps to see players.»

Other returnees include Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards, Fulham defender Antonee Robinson and Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso. Pochettino will also get his first looks at Barcelona Atletic goalkeeper Diego Kochen and CD Guadalajara forward Cade Cowell.
