The U.S. head coach discussed the midfielder's return to the team ahead of three more World Cup qualifiers
U.S. men's national team head coach Gregg Berhalter said, as far as he's concerned, Weston McKennie's punishment for violating team rules last month is essentially over, although he says the midfielder will still be held accountable for regaining his teammates' trust.
McKennie was sent home from September's World Cup qualifiers for violating team rules, ruling him out of vital matches against Canada and Honduras.
But McKennie was included on the USMNT's 27-man squad for upcoming matches against Jamaica, Panama and Costa Rica, with Berhalter saying that the midfielder will now be welcomed back and treated just like any other player despite last month's incident.
