The USMNT will be missing several integral players, including Christian Pulisic, when it takes on Venezuela and Costa Rica later this month.
The U.S. men's national team is gearing up for its first training camp of the new year under Mauricio Pochettino. The Stars and Stripes are set to report to Fort Lauderdale on Jan. 7 ahead of their two international friendlies coming in two weeks.
The USMNT first faces Venezuela at Chase Stadium on Jan. 18 and then takes on Costa Rica on Jan. 22 at Inter&Co Stadium. The matches kick off a busy year for the USMNT that features the Concacaf Nations League Finals and the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup.
Pochettino will be without his best players, though, when the Stars and Stripes clash with Venezuela and Costa Rica.
