Ireland vs USA team news: Weah, Adams & McKennie in starting side

Tim Weah, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie are all in the starting team for Dave Sarachan as the U.S. national team takes on the Republic of Ireland on Saturday.

The three teens highlight a young starting side that will be captained by midfielder Wil Trapp.

Bobby Wood gets the start up front, with Weah on the right and Rubio Rubin on the left expected to support him out of a five-man midfield.

Adams and McKennie start beside Trapp in the middle of the park.

Sarachan has opted for the same back line that kept a clean sheet against Paraguay in March, with Jorge Villafana playing on the left, DeAndre Yedlin on the right and Cameron Carter-Vickers joining Matt Miazga in the middle.
