Written about him
Gio Reyna is out for Haiti, and his replacement has scored in three straight
U.S. Soccer withdrew Gio Reyna from the 25-man roster for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti on November 7, 2026, with an injury, and added Stoke City midfielder Jack McGlynn, 23, who has 13 caps. Reyna started all four of the fall friendlies and played 259 of the 360 minutes; four different players replaced him, and two of them, Mathis Albert and Sebastian Berhalter, are on the Haiti roster. McGlynn has played 797 of Stoke's 1,350 Championship minutes this season, all 360 of the last four matches, and scored in each of the last three. The United States plays Haiti on November 14 in Miami and November 17 in Cincinnati.
George Campbell's groin put Mark McKenzie on the Haiti roster five hours before he scored
U.S. Soccer added Toulouse defender Mark McKenzie to the 25-man roster for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti on November 6, replacing George Campbell, who was withdrawn with a groin injury. McKenzie, 27, has 30 caps and had not been in a camp since the World Cup. Later that day he scored in the 56th minute of Toulouse's 3-1 win over Strasbourg, his first league goal of the season, and has played all 900 of Toulouse's league minutes. Gio Reyna, also on the roster, scored for Strasbourg and came off in the 70th minute with an injury. The United States plays Haiti on November 14 in Miami and November 17 in Cincinnati.
Schwake made it four goalkeepers in four wins, and Freese has 45 minutes
The United States beat Canada 1-0 at Allianz Field in St. Paul on October 6. Justin Ellis scored in the 29th minute from Alex Freeman's cross, and Brian Schwake made three saves in his first start. That finished the fall window at four wins from four, with 12 goals, two clean sheets and all 28 players capped. Four different goalkeepers started the four matches. Matt Freese, who was in goal when the World Cup ended against Belgium, played 45 of the 360 minutes and was not dressed against Canada. Freeman, Auston Trusty, Malik Tillman and Gio Reyna took the most minutes, and Reyna was the only player to start all four. The Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti is November 14 and 17, and Ellis is being evaluated for a lower-leg contusion.
Does Mexico get the eleven Pochettino has not started yet?
The United States play Mexico at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on October 3, the third of four matches in this window. A federation source told ESPN's Jeff Carlisle the team has to beat Mexico, while Mauricio Pochettino has described the camp in terms of the next World Cup. Through Peru and Chile, Pochettino started eight and then six of the 15 players capped before the window, and Gio Reyna was the only man in both elevens. Twelve of the 15 have started exactly once. Six capped regulars who played in both matches have between 104 and 118 of the 180 regulation minutes, and Chris Richards has 27, so no one is worn down. A strongest eleven can be built from capped players at every position but striker, where four of the five forwards were uncapped when camp opened and the fifth, Damion Downs, has 23 league minutes this season.
