Reports: Gio Reyna in, Diego Luna out of USMNT World Cup roster - ESPN

Gio Reyna will be included in the United States' 2026 World Cup roster, while midfielder Diego Luna is among the notable absentees, according to multiple reports.

U.S. men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino is scheduled to announce his 26-player roster for the World Cup, which is being co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico, at an event in New York City on Tuesday.

Reyna's inclusion and Luna missing out were first reported by The Athletic, with players being informed of the decision on Friday. Luna's uncapped Real Salt Lake teammate Zavier Gozo has also missed the final cut, ESPN confirmed.

Luna had been a regular under Pochettino, making 18 appearances, contributing four goals and four assists, since his debut in 2024

ESPN confirmed that Club América winger Alejandro Zendejas will also be named to the roster.

Zendejas' place was first reported by The Guardian, which also named Lyon midfielder Tanner Tessmann as another surprise exclusion.

Tessmann featured in both of the USMNT's most recent friendlies, against Belgium and Portugal, in March.

Reyna, meanwhile, has long been regarded as one of the most talented players in the U.S. player pool but has often been used off the bench in his first season at German Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach and hasn't played a full 90-minute club league game in four years.

At the last World Cup in Qatar in 2022, he was almost sent home from the tournament by then-coach Gregg Berhalter for a perceived lack of effort in training before a family conflict between his parents and Berhalter led to an investigation by the U.S. Soccer Federation
