CHESTER, Penn. -- United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino reiterated his stance that "no one can feel safe" when it comes to making the World Cup roster and that the players on the current squad deserve to be there.
Pochettino said his stance applies to U.S. stars such as AC Milan attacker Christian Pulisic as well as Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams. Both are out injured and aren't available for friendlies against Paraguay on Saturday and Uruguay three days later.
Pulisic has only recently recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained last month against Australia during a play that Pochettino called "a bad luck situation.
