USA coach Gregg Berhalter has named a 27-man roster for games against Jamaica, Panama, and Costa Rica as his team look to build on a 4-1 away victory over Honduras in the last round of
CONCACAF qualifiers.
Pulisic has been omitted as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained in the win over Honduras while Reyna also misses out as he works his way back from a hamstring problem.
However McKennie is back in favor after being dropped for two qualifiers earlier this month after breaching COVID-19 protocols.
RB Leipzig’s Tyler Adams is in the squad after recovering from a muscle injury while Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah, who failed to make the squad for the opening qualifying games, gets his first call-up of the World Cup campaign.
Veteran striker Gyasi Zardes, Real Mallorca’s Matthew Hoppe, and DC United’s Paul Arriola have also been recalled.
“We are excited to get the group back together for this next round of World Cup qualifiers,” Berhalter said.
“This squad represents a diverse group of talent, and we will need to rely on each and every team member to navigate through these three games. Our focus now is Jamaica and preparing to win that game.”
