Ahead of friendlies versus Uzbekistan on Sept. 9 and Oman on Sept. 12, Gregg Berhalter has named his first U.S. men’s national team roster since returning as head coach following the conclusion of the Gold Cup. Not needing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, the United States and Mexico, these friendlies will be a warmup for when the United States return to Nations League play in November.
Berhalter hasn’t coached the team since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar following the expiration of his contract and an investigation into a domestic incident in his past which led to both Anthony Hudson and B.J. Callaghan coaching the side to the Nations League title and during the Gold Cup. But while this may be Berhalter’s first roster since the World Cup, plenty of familiar faces will be included.

Reyna is notably absent but he has yet to appear for Dortmund this season after suffering a calf injury during the summer.

Given Reyna’s talent, he will need to eventually get back into the fold but it’s unknown how long it will take for that.
