After summer break, Pulisic back with U.S. team

ROBIN ALAM/ISI PHOTOS Getty Images: CHRISTIAN PULISIC (10) elected not to play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

“I think it’s behind us, all that happened in summer, and I think now we need to look forward,” Pochettino said Tuesday after announcing his 22-man roster for friendlies against South Korea on Sept. 6 at Harrison, N.J., and Japan three days later at Columbus, Ohio.

Pulisic, the top American player, offered to play in June friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup but didn’t want to participate in the tournament, an offer that Pochettino rejected.

The 26-year-old played in about 100 club matches during his first two seasons with AC Milan and wanted an extensive break in the summer before the U.S. hosts next year’s World Cup.

LAFC signed free agent forward Alexandru Baluta of Romania through the remainder of the 2025 season with a club option for 2026 pending receipt of his paper work.
