After a September/October international break, Mauricio Pochettino prepares the United States men's national team (USMNT) for competitive play against Haiti in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals on Nov. 14 and Nov. 17. This roster sees the return of regulars like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Folarin Balogun, alongside younger players such as Cavan Sullivan and Julian Hall, who are eager to showcase their talents.

Injuries to players like Miles Robinson, Johnny Cardoso, and Ricardo Pepi have opened up opportunities for newcomers. Pochettino noted that both Pepi and Balogun are not fully fit, prompting the inclusion of players like Justin Ellis and Hall.

Two uncapped players, Reed Baker-Whiting and Santiago Castañeda, have also been called up, with the latter being recognized for his impressive performance in the German Bundesliga.

Pochettino emphasized the importance of integrating youth with experience, stating, "I think it's important to always try to add new ideas... The most important thing is the combination, to try to see the chemistry between..."

The roster includes:

• Goalkeepers: Matt Freese, Diego Kochen, Brian Schwake
• Defenders: Reed Baker-Whiting, George Campbell, Sergiño Dest, etc.
• Midfielders: Tyler Adams, Mathis Albert, Weston McKennie, etc.
• Forwards: Folarin Balogun, Justin Ellis, Julian Hall, Christian Pulisic, Cavan Sullivan

With Pulisic in good form and Hall rapidly improving, the team looks poised for a strong offensive performance against Haiti. Pochettino's commitment to blending established and emerging talent highlights a promising future for U.S. Soccer as they aim to secure a spot in the semifinals.
