Mauricio Pochettino names a 28-man USMNT squad for four friendlies in September and October, with 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan among the new faces. Several players are selected with the possibility of making international debuts during the camp window.
Across outlets, Sullivan’s inclusion is highlighted as a central story. The reports say the squad has a significantly younger average age than the World Cup roster, with many selections pointing to a shift toward a new cycle. Yahoo and The Guardian note the roster’s youth and state that Sullivan is positioned to make his senior debut if he plays.
By contrast, the Independent and Yahoo focus on the omission of Christian Pulisic from this first roster since the World Cup. While outlets differ mainly in emphasis—youth and debuts versus Pulisic’s absence—they align on the headline facts: Pochettino is assembling a youthful group for the upcoming friendly matches, and Sullivan is one of the standout selections.
