Weah withdraws

Forward Tim Weah has withdrawn from the squad after entering the concussion return to play protocol following a head injury suffered in Lille’s recent 2-0 victory over Toulouse in Ligue 1. AZ Alkmaar’s Djordje Mihailovic has been added to the USMNT roster to replace Weah.

USMNT captain Tyler Adams picked up a hamstring injury with his club Leeds United and will not be on the squad for the Nations League games.

Club América winger Alex Zendejas has declared his commitment to representing the United States and FC Juárez player Alan Soñora, who holds citizenship in Argentina and the USA, earned his first two caps for the USMNT against Serbia and Colombia in January.

If either player appears in the Nations League matches, they would be officially tied to the United States for international competition.

Hudson’s thoughts

“First and foremost, our objective is to win both matches. We want to defend our Nations League title and also qualify for this summer’s Gold Cup, and to do that we need to get results,” USMNT head coach Anthony Hudson said ahead of the games this month.

“From there, we want to maintain the standards that we’ve set and continue to build on the accomplishments of the last four years. We walked away from the World Cup knowing that we are capable of more, and we’re excited to continue to move this group forward.”
