United States men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has named a 27-player roster for the upcoming international window featuring friendlies against Belgium and Portugal.

AC Milan attacker Christian Pulisic, Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, and Crystal Palace center back Chris Richards are among the headline selections for the matches, which will take place in Atlanta.

The roster includes Borussia Dortmund midfielder Gio Reyna despite his limited playing time at the club level, having logged only 29 minutes of action recently. Reyna's inclusion demonstrates Pochettino's continued faith in the young midfielder despite his reduced role with his club.

Notably absent from the squad is midfielder Tyler Adams, who will miss the international window due to injury. Adams' absence removes a key player from Pochettino's midfield options for the two friendlies.

The matches against Belgium and Portugal will provide Pochettino with an opportunity to evaluate his squad and test tactical approaches as he continues to implement his philosophy with the national team. Both friendlies are scheduled to be played in Atlanta, giving American fans a chance to see the team in action on home soil.
