Stars Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Tyler Adams are all fit and playing regularly for their respective clubs this season, lending lots of optimism that the Yanks will continue their stranglehold on the relatively new competition. The USMNT is the only side to win the Nations League thus far, having won it in 2021, 2023 and 2024 under previous coach Gregg Berhalter. Elsewhere in the squad, midfielders Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna are back in the mix after lengthy spells out of the team due to injury and fitness concerns.
However, Antonella Robinson, Auston Trusty and Johnny Cardoso all had to drop out in a big blow to the defensive unit.
"This is a massive opportunity to win a trophy and that is our clear objective," Pochettino said upon naming his squad. "We must continue to show our quality, our bravery and our commitment to each other. We have an important moment to represent our country and our supporters, and we are very excited for this opportunity."
