The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that Christian Pulisic, Ricardo Pepi, and Weston McKennie are missing the friendly against Mexico to return to their European clubs.
Pulisic is foregoing the match for load management according to the USSF, while Pepi and McKennie are returning due to minor injuries.
Pochettino emphasized that decisions regarding player participation are made with the best interests of the players in mind and reflect the commitment to their club relationships.
Despite the absences, the U.S. team maintains 21 available players for their match in Guadalajara following a recent 2-0 victory over Panama.
