When it seemed impossible that the Mexican-American forward Alejandro Zendejas was taken into account by the Argentine coach USA Mauricio Pochettino, everything seems to indicate that it will be the big “surprise” in the list that will be announced next Tuesday, June 26.
Zendejas seemed to be one of the players exiled from the World Cup after he was not called up for more than a year by the South American coach, because he was injured for a time and then because the left-handed striker who plays on the right in América was not taken into account for tactical decisions.
In step with The Guardian, that is Mauricio Pochettino’s 26-man roster for the #USMNT 2026 World Cup.

The United States knows how complicated the World Cup will be and does not want to make concessions that could make the difference between success and failure in a group that seems to be in shape. but where the Paraguayans, Australians and Turks could jump like free and scare the USMNT.
The version is not official, but The Guardian newspaper, one of the most influential media outlets on North American soil, he announced the list that coach Mauricio Pochettino will announce to FIFA on Tuesday and where the América striker appears.
Zendejas resigned from the Mexico national team in January 2023 when he was not considered by former Mexico coach Gerardo Martino. causing the player to refuse to defend the national jersey.
In the United States team, the absences of Tanner Tessmann, Lyon midfielder, stand out, who is one of those who were not considered and Neither did Diego Luna, who was called to be a figure on the Stars and Stripes team, but the coach opted better for Gio Reyna..
