Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie have been called back to the United States team for their upcoming Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals. These matches against Jamaica are the first competitive games for new head coach Mauricio Pochettino. Previously, he led the team in two friendlies, securing a 2-0 victory over Panama but then losing 2-0 to Mexico, a match that both Pulisic and McKennie missed.

Timothy Weah, who plays alongside McKennie at Juventus, is also returning to the squad. However, he will miss the first leg against Jamaica due to a suspension from a red card received during the Copa America match against Panama. Recently, Weah has been in excellent form, contributing four goals in his last four league games for Juventus.

The USA aims to secure their fourth consecutive Concacaf Nations League title. They will face Jamaica in Kingston on Thursday before hosting the second leg on November 18 in Missouri. Despite his recent return from injury and playing for Bournemouth in the Premier League, Tyler Adams is not included in the squad.
