US coach Mauricio Pochettino has recalled Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun to the national team for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League quarter-finals against Haiti. Both players sustained injuries during the World Cup and have not played for the US since. Pulisic fractured his leg during the United States' round-of-16 World Cup loss to Belgium, while Balogun sustained a knee injury. Pochettino believes this is a great opportunity for both players to continue their development and improve their confidence.
The US squad for the matches against Haiti includes several young players, including Justin Ellis and Julian Hall, who made their debuts and scored during the United States' international window in September and October. The team won all four games during that window.
