The U.S. men's national team will head to the 2022 World Cup with a defender who hasn't played for it in over a year, a striker who's never scored an international goal from open play, and without its No. 1 goalkeeper for most of this World Cup cycle.
USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter announced his 26-man roster on Wednesday. It includes Haji Wright, a red-hot forward, but not Jordan Pefok nor Ricardo Pepi. It also includes Fulham captain Tim Ream, a 35-year-old center back who hasn't played for the national team since last September.
