Pochettino’s one curious USMNT World Cup roster choice raises a glaring question

U.S. Men's National Team head coach Mauricio Pochettino is set to reveal his World Cup roster on Tuesday, but a significant omission has already emerged: midfielder Tanner Tessmann, who appeared in each of the last six USMNT matches, was informed via email on Friday that he has not been selected. The reason for his exclusion is unclear, as a source indicated his recent muscle injury posed no concern for World Cup availability, though his form and playing time had dipped at his French club Lyon. The unexpected cut is described as having a domino effect on the squad's tactical setup.
