As the United States men's national team prepares to face South Korea on Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to field a lineup that could balance returning veterans with emerging talents.
Here is how the Stars and Stripes could set up against Son Heung-min and co. this weekend.
Matt Freese – The NYCFC keeper appears to be Poch's number-one as of now.
Sergiño Dest (Right-back) – Returns after sitting out Gold Cup, by far the USMNT's most talented right-back.
Chris Richards (Center-back) – A staple of defense, expected to anchor the back line
Tim Ream (Center-back) – Experienced and reliable, brings leadership to defense.
Max Arfsten (Left-back) – A youthful presence likely to support from the flank.
Tyler Adams (Central midfield) – The midfield lynchpin, offering stability and control.
Luca de la Torre (Central midfield) – A ball-mover with vision, rounding out a balanced double pivot.
Tim Weah (Right-wing) – Reunited with the squad after a summer break. Weah brings dynamism to the wing.
Diego Luna (Central attacking midfield) – Creative spark with ability to unlock tight defenses. Luna shone at the Gold Cup.
Christian Pulisic (Left wing) – Returning from rest, the talisman returns to lead the attack.
Josh Sargent – The likely center-forward, riding form and leading the line. Sargent has started the EFL Championship campaign on fire.
