Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Antonee Robinson and Joe Scally will miss the CONCACAF Gold Cup, leaving the United States with a depleted roster for its last competitive soccer matches before the 2026 World Cup.

AC Milan's Christian Pulisic will miss next month's CONCACAF Gold Cup, leading a group of notable absentees from Mauricio Pochettino's 27-man U.S. squad announced on Thursday.

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino announced his 27-player roster for June friendlies vs. Turkey and Switzerland. Mainstays Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson and Yunus Musah were all omitted.

What began as a straightforward contract renewal has evolved into a potential transfer saga, with the player reportedly being offered to other clubs in Italy and abroad. Christian Pulisic has been one of Milan’s brightest lights in what has been a gloomy season.

AC Milan's new home kit sees the return of the historic "Diavoletto" symbol, which is integrated into the flame motifs running through the stripes.
