Mauricio Pochettino won't say why Christian Pulisic was left out of USMNT camp, and that silence is the message

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino declined to give a clear explanation for why Christian Pulisic, the most prominent player in the US Men's National Team program, was left out of a national team camp. The omission, reported on September 17, 2026, has drawn significant attention given Pulisic's high profile. Pochettino's deliberate silence on the matter is being interpreted as a message in itself regarding the player's status.
