The USMNT will have a camp during the month of November, before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The goalkeepers called up by Mauricio Pochettino are Roman Celentano, Matt Freese, Jonathan Klinsmann and Patrick Schulte.

The list of defenders is made up of Max Arfsten, Sergiño Dest, Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Miles Robinson, Joe Scally, John Tolkin and Auston Trusty.

On the other hand, the called-up midfielders are Sebastian Berhalter, Aidan Morris, Gio Reyna, Cristian Roldan, Tanner Tessmann and Timmy Tillman, while the called-up forwards are Brenden Aaronson, Folarin Balogun, Diego Luna, Ricardo Pepi and Haji Wright.

Initially, Tyler Adams had been considered, but on the official US Soccer site it was reported that he would be replaced by Tillman, 26.

Why Tyler Adams Is Not on the USMNT Roster for November Camp

Adams, 26, participated in the Premier League match between Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth last weekend, falling 4-0.

The bad news for the American soccer player was not only the defeat, but he also suffered an injury, as US Soccer pointed out in its statement.

"Midfielders Tyler Adams (Bournemouth) and Sean Zawadzki (Columbus Crew) have been withdrawn due to injuries suffered in their club matches this past weekend," can be read on the official USMNT site.

This season, Adams has played every match with Bournemouth. He has accumulated 12 appearances, one goal and one assist between Premier League and Carabao Cup.

Tillman, for his part, is also fundamental for Los Angeles FC. This season he has played 45 games and has given four assists between MLS, Leagues Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. He is currently in the MLS Playoffs, and will face Vancouver Whitecaps on November 22.

The USA Team will play against Paraguay and Uruguay on Saturday, November 15 and Tuesday, November 18, respectively.
