USMNT team news ahead of Trinidad & Tobago
Gregg Berhalter has called 24 players up for the upcoming games. Key forwards Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah are both missing due to hamstring injuries. Strikers Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi are set to start in attack, alongside Borussia Dortmund’s Gio Reyna.
US captain Tyler Adams will miss out as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury, meaning Real Betis target Johnny Cardoso or Lennard Maloney could get the nod in front of the back four.
Possible USA XI
Berhalter could opt for the following XI:
Turner; Dest, Ream, Richards, Robinson; Cardoso, McKennie, Musah; Pepi, Balogun, Reyna.
