Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun return to USMNT roster for Nations League

Mauricio Pochettino has selected his 26-man roster for the United States’ upcoming Concacaf Nations League quarter-final matches against Haiti, including recalls for Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun.The two-leg series against Haiti marks the first competitive action for the US since they exited the World Cup with a calamitous showing against Belgium in the last 16. Pochettino’s side are heavily favored to win the competition outright, arriving in better form and health than chief rivals Mexico and Canada. Haiti will host their “home” leg in Miami on 14 November due to years-long security issues stemming from widespread gang violence in Port-au-Prince. The return leg will be played in Cincinnati on 17 November.GoalkeepersMatt Freese (New York City FC; 20/0), Diego Kochen (Lyngby Boldklub/DEN; 2/0), Brian Schwake (Nashville SC; 2/0)DefendersReed Baker-Whiting (Nashville SC; 0/0), George Campbell (West Brom; 3/0), Sergiño Dest (PSV; 46/3), Alex Freeman (Villarreal; 26/3), Neil Pierre (Philadelphia Union; 3/0), Bryan Reynolds (Stade Rennais; 7/1), Chris Richards (Crystal Palace; 43/4), Antonee Robinson (Fulham; 62/5), Auston Trusty (Celtic; 14/1)MidfieldersTyler Adams (AFC Bournemouth; 62/2), Mathis Albert (Borussia Dortmund; 4/1), Sebastian Berhalter (Middlesbrough; 22/4), Santiago Castañeda (SC Paderborn; 0/0), Weston McKennie (Juventus; 71/12), Adri Mehmeti (Red Bull New York; 3/0), Gio Reyna (RC Strasbourg Alsace; 47/10), Malik Tillman (Bayer Leverkusen; 39/7)ForwardsFolarin Balogun (Monaco/FRA; 31/12), Justin Ellis (Orlando City SC; 3/2), Julian Hall (Red Bull New York; 4/3), Christian Pulisic (AC Milan/ITA; 90/33), Cavan Sullivan (Philadelphia Union; 3/1)This story will be updated.
