USMNT World Cup Lineup vs. Türkiye: Balogun, Jedi, Adams, Richards Won't Start

The U.S. men's national team will rest four regular starters — midfielder Tyler Adams, striker Folarin Balogun, defender Chris Richards, and fullback Antonee Robinson — for their 2026 FIFA World Cup Group D finale against Türkiye on June 26 at Los Angeles Stadium, with manager Mauricio Pochettino protecting all four from yellow card accumulation that would trigger automatic suspensions. Star forward Christian Pulisic's participation is also uncertain after he missed the 2-0 win over Australia with a calf injury sustained in the 4-0 victory over Paraguay. The U.S., already confirmed as Group D winners, will face their Round of 32 opponent on July 1 in the San Francisco Bay Area, with Bosnia and Herzegovina projected as the likely opponent after finishing third in Group A.
