USA prepares for Turkey match while managing player fitness issues

The United States will face Turkey in a World Cup group stage match at the Los Angeles Stadium. With Group D already secured, USA coach Mauricio Pochettino plans to rotate the squad to rest key players like Folarin Balogun and Antonee Robinson, who are at risk of suspension. Star player Christian Pulisic, returning from a calf injury, may see limited action. This match is essentially a dead rubber for Turkey, who are confirmed to finish last in the group regardless of the outcome.
