With the CONCACAF Nations League roster announcement imminent, here’s a snapshot of where the U.S. player pool stands.
On Thursday, United States men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter is expected to name his roster for this month's two CONCACAF Nations League games against Trinidad and Tobago — matches that will double as qualifiers for the all-important 2024 Copa America, which the U.S. will host across the country next summer. They're the first meaningful games on the
schedule since Berhalter returned to the sidelines in September after being rehired over the summer. And they're almost must-win. Although the Americans can still make the 16-team tournament that includes the likes of World Cup-holder Argentina and record five-time champion Brazil even if they don't take the home-and-home, aggregate goals series with T&T — the nation that famously denied the U.S. a trip to the 2018 World Cup — Berhalter won't want to wait.
goalie likely to get regular minutes for the rest of 2023 is 19-year-old Gaga Slonina. Slonina has one shutout in 11 games for Eupen in Belgium's top league. Turner is still the U.S. No. 1. He's been superb for the national team even when not featuring at club level, like at last year's World Cup.
's two friendlies in both September and October; expect him to be deployed similarly against the Soca Warriors. Behind those three are Cameron Carter-Vickers, who's heathy again for UEFA Champions League participant Celtic, and Nashville's Walker Zimmerman, who missed the October games against Germany and Ghana because of a minor injury.
headliner Christian Pulisic is automatic on the left wing unless he's hurt; the 25-year-old sat out AC Milan's 1-0 loss to Udinese Saturday with a thigh issue. Expect Reyna to plug in for Tim Weah, who's out with an injured right hamstring, on the right. Brenden Aaronson and Malik Tillman will likely compete for minutes as substitutes, though Tillman is also a candidate in central midfield. The 21-year-old was injured last month but has three goals in his last five games for PSV.
