The U. S. men's national team won't reveal its World Cup roster until Tuesday, May 26, but the full squad of 26 players has already been leaked.
On Saturday, March 23, The Guardian published the full list of players Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly set to include on his squad for the tournament on home soil. Many of the names weren't a surprise, but there were some inclusions and omissions that will generate plenty of discussion. Tanner Tessmann, who was expected to make the roster at central midfield, was not selected.
The Lyon man has recently been dealing with a muscle injury . It's unclear if his omission was because of that issue. Confirming a previous report from The Athletic , Gio Reyna was included on the team with Diego Luna missing the cut.
With Luna out, there was room for Club América winger Alejandro Zendejas, who hasn't been with the team since September. The team only has four recognized central midfielders, with Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and MLS pair Cristian Roldan and Sebastian Berhalter making the roster. Middlesbrough midfielder Aidan Morris missed the cut along with the injured Johnny Cardoso.
