Pochettino names USMNT roster for Nations League, omits Musah
Summary

U.S. Men's National Team head coach Mauricio Pochettino announced a 25-player roster for the CONCACAF Nations League match against Haiti. Notable absentees include AC Milan's Yunus Musah, despite his strong performance with the club this season. Former USMNT player Charlie Davies criticized Musah's exclusion, calling it a puzzler given his regular role and recent contributions at Milan. The roster features returning players like Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, while newcomer Santiago Castañeda has yet to earn a cap for the national team. The USMNT looks to solidify their position in the tournament following a successful last camp of friendlies.
