AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic and Juventus forward Timothy Weah will both miss the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League qualifiers against Trinidad and Tobago, as confirmed by USA coach Gregg Berhalter in the 24-man squad announcement on Thursday.
A spokesperson from the US Soccer Federation confirmed that both Christian Pulisic and Timothy Weah are unavailable due to injuries. Pulisic sustained a leg muscle injury and was substituted during AC Milan's 2-1 Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. Weah has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury while playing for Juventus against Verona in Serie A last month.
Berhalter continues to face the absence of another crucial starter, as central midfielder Tyler Adams is ruled out until February due to a setback in his attempt to return from a long-term injury suffered in September.
The USA is set to encounter Trinidad and Tobago in Austin, Texas, on November 16, followed by a rematch in Port of Spain four days later.
