USMNT Stars Face World Cup Cut: Who's In, Who's Out?
6 Mar
Summary
- March camp is final chance for USMNT players before World Cup roster.
- Weston McKennie signs new Juventus deal, scores eight goals this season.
- Josh Sargent transferred to Toronto FC for a reported $22 million.
The U.S. Men's National Team faces crucial decisions ahead of the World Cup, with the March training camp being the final evaluation period for coach Mauricio Pochettino. This camp includes matches against Belgium and Portugal, and it will be the last chance for players to secure their spots on the 26-man roster.
Several players are making significant moves. Weston McKennie has signed a contract extension with Juventus through 2030, reportedly earning $7 million annually, and has scored eight goals this season. Josh Sargent has completed a $22 million transfer to Toronto FC, signing a contract through June 2031, returning him to MLS.
Other players are managing their situations carefully. Antonee Robinson has returned to full fitness after an ankle issue, playing 90 minutes for Fulham. Johnny Cardoso, despite his team's loss to Barcelona, has shown recent consistency for Atlético Madrid. However, injuries continue to affect Diego Luna, while Matt Turner is looking to regain his starting goalkeeper position for the USMNT.
Christian Pulisic, expected to be the face of the squad, faces mild concern due to a nine-game scoreless streak for AC Milan. His form in the upcoming camp will be closely watched as the final roster decisions loom.
