Coach Mauricio Pochettino‘s 23-man roster for the Concacaf Nations League final four includes three 2022 World Cup players who had not yet been part of a camp run by the Argentine: Tyler Adams, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Gio Reyna.

Adams, the USA’s captain in Qatar, underwent back surgery after the 2024 Copa America and didn’t return to action until October. Carter-Vickers was nursing a toe injury when the USMNT convened last October and November. Reyna was sidelined with a groin injury.

Reyna starred for the USA as it won each of the Concacaf Nations League’s previous editions, in 2021, 2023 and 2024.

He assisted on both goals in the 2-0 final win over Mexico in 2023, and he scored and assisted in the 3-2 final win over Mexico in 2021.
