USMNT Concacaf Nations League Roster Announcement & Schedule

Charlie Zschau Updated: 12 hours ago

The United States have officially announce their roster for the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals against Haiti in mid-November.

Mauricio Pochettino has opted to bring back some of his veteran stars to play alongside many of the impressive young players who debuted for the USMNT during the last international window.

Pochettino included eight teenagers in the squad that faced Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada at the end of September and beginning of October, and the most impressive ones—Pierre, Mehmeti, Albert, Ellis, Hall and Sullivan—have earned consecutive call-ups.

The Americans will face Haiti in a two-legged Concacaf Nations League quarter-final tie, with both matches being played in the United States.

Here's a look at USMNT roster named by Mauricio Pochettino:

Official USMNT Roster for Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals vs. Haiti

Goalkeepers

Name	Club	USMNT Caps
Matt Freese	New York City FC	20
Diego Kochen	Lyngby Boldklub	2
Brian Schwake	Nashville SC	2

Pochettino opts not to add any new goalkeepers to the squad, though Chris Brady has been dropped from the group called up for the September and October friendlies.

Matt Freese was the starting goalkeeper during the 2026 World Cup, although he is at risk of losing the No. 1 spot to Nashville SC star Brian Schwake or rising talent Diego Kochen, both of whom impressed during the recent international window.

Defenders

Name	Club	USMNT Caps
Reed Baker-Whiting	Nashville SC	0
George Campbell	West Brom	3
Sergiño Dest	PSV Eindhoven	46
Alex Freeman	Villareal	26
Neil Pierre	Philadelphia Union	3
Bryan Reynolds	Stade Rennais	7
Chris Richards	Crystal Palace	43
Antonee Robinson	Fulham	62
Auston Trusty	Celtic	14

Reed Baker-Whiting and Bryan Reynolds are the only two defenders to be added to the squad since last month. Baker-Whiting has the opportunity to earn his first career appearance for the senior national team, while Reynolds could play his first game since the Gold Cup semi-finals in July 2023, and make his first appearance under Pochettino.

19-year-old Neil Pierre appeared three times and made one start during the last break, clearly impressing his coach enough to earn a recall for the matches against Haiti.

Midfielders

Name	Club	USMNT Caps
Tyler Adams	Bournemouth	62
Mathis Albert	Borussia Dortmund	4
Sebastian Berhalter	Middlesbrough	22
Santiago Casteñeda	SC Paderborn	0
Weston McKennie	Juventus	71
Adri Mehmeti	New York Red Bulls	3
Gio Reyna	Strasbourg	47
Malik Tillman	Bayer Leverkusen	39

Weston McKennie will rejoin the squad this month after resting during the last international window. His absence allowed young talents like Mathis Albert and Adri Mehmeti the chance to impress—an opportunity they thoroughly seized.

Santiago Casteñeda has also earned his first call-up to the senior team. Casteñeda, 21, is a physical defensive midfielder who has been a regular for Bundesliga side SC Paderborn.

Forwards

Name	Club	USMNT Caps
Folarin Balogun	AS Monaco	31
Justin Ellis	Orlando City	3
Julian Hall	Red Bull New York	4
Christian Pulisic	AC Milan	90
Cavan Sullivan	Philadelphia Union	3

Like McKennie, Folarin Balogun and Christian Pulisic will both return to the national team camp for the first time since the World Cup. They will be accompanied up front by three impressive young MLS forwards: Justin Ellis, Julian Hall and Cavan Sullivan.

Ellis made three appearances (two starts) and scored two goals, including the winner in a 1-0 victory over Canada during his first senior call-up. Hall made four appearances (two starts), scoring three goals and providing an assist during his initial call-up to Pochettino's side. Sullivan also made two starts and became the youngest goalscorer in USMNT history at 17 years and five days old when he scored against Mexico on October 3, 2026.
