The United States men’s national team is set to announce its 26-man World Cup roster, and multiple outlets report the key changes in midfield and attacking positions. Club América winger Alejandro Zendejas is included on the squad, while Lyon defensive midfielder Tanner Tessmann does not make the cut. Both Los Angeles Times and The Guardian also report that attacking midfielder Diego Luna is omitted, despite strong form. In midfield, Borussia Mönchengladbach player Gio Reyna is included. The Guardian reports the roster obtained through its sources is authentic and aligns with earlier reporting, while U.S. Soccer does not comment on the roster ahead of the official announcement. The Athletic is cited by The Guardian as the first source to report Reyna’s inclusion and Luna’s omission. The official roster announcement is scheduled for Tuesday at a nationally televised event in New York City. Additional reported inclusions referenced by Los Angeles Times include Chris Richards, though the outlets’ emphasis centers on Tessmann’s and Luna’s omissions and Zendejas and Reyna’s selections.
