Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams and Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson have both been named in the United States squad for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Adams and Robinson are among the five players at English clubs picked by USA boss Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n

Also included are Leeds midfielder Brenden Aaronson, Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards and Coventry forward Haji Wright.<\/p>\n

Celtic centre-back Auston Trusty has been picked along with midfielders Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, who play for AC Milan and Juventus respectively.<\/p>\n

Pochettino has included Borussia Monchengladbach attacking midfielder Giovanni Reyna, the son of former US internationals Claudio Reyna and Danielle Reyna, in his 26-strong squad.<\/p>\n

Reyna, 23, was at the centre of an controversy at Qatar 2022<\/a>, when it emerged after the tournament he was nearly been kicked out of the camp by then coach Gregg Berhalter over his attitude in training.<\/p>\n

That in turn led to Reyna’s mother informing US Soccer of a physical altercation in 1991 between Berhalter and his then girlfirend, and now wife. <\/p>\n

It prompted the governing body to request an independent investigation which concluded that Berhalter did not improperly withhold information about the domestic abuse of his wife and found “no evidence to suggest that he has engaged in similar misconduct at any other time”. <\/p>\n

Among the Major League Soccer players included in the roster are Berhalter’s son, Sebastian, the Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder.<\/p>\n

World Cup co-hosts USA open their World Cup Group D campaign against Paraguay on 13 June before matches against Australia and Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams and Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson have both been named in the United States squad…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":605616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-605615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/605616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
