With the World Cup a year away, a U.S. men’s national soccer team in urgent need of a strong performance at this summer’s Concacaf Gold Cup will need to do so without several key players, including star forward Christian Pulisic.
Pulisic and AC Milan teammate Yunus Musah, as well as Antonee Robinson, Tim Weah, Weston McKennie and Gio Reyna, have been ruled out of what will be the final tournament before the World Cup is staged in North America.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino on Thursday named a 27-man squad — mostly from MLS — for training camp in Chicago.
