CONCACAF Nations League finals: Pochettino turns to experience; includes Pulisic, McKennie in squad

The Hindu  

U.S. men’s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino will lean on a cast of reliable veterans in this month’s CONCACAF Nations League finals as the defending champion looks to build momentum a little more than a year out from the World Cup. Pochettino took charge in September after the U.S. suffered a humiliating early exit from the Copa America on home soil and played it safe with Tuesday’s squad that featured 16 players who have competed in the Nations League Finals before. “We must continue to show our quality, our bravery and our commitment to each other.” The camp that begins on March 16 will give the former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris St Germain and Chelsea manager his first look at midfielder Tyler Adams, the 2022 U.S. Soccer men’s player of the year who has not played for the national team since the Copa amid back and hamstring issues. Midfielder Gio Reyna, the 22-year-old Borussia Dortmund player who famously clashed with former U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter, will also return to the national team amid an injury-impacted season in Germany.
