Midfielder Tanner Tessmann has been left off the U.S. men’s national team roster for the 2026 World Cup, while Club América winger Alejandro Zendejas and Seattle Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan are both in the 26-man squad, multiple sources briefed on the roster decisions told The Athletic.Three players who missed out on the World Cup roster in 2022 are also included in the squad: center back Miles Robinson, who missed Qatar due to an Achilles injury; center back Chris Richards, who also missed out due to injury; and forward Ricardo Pepi, who was widely considered to be one of the final cuts from that 2022 team.Gio Reyna is also included, as reported on Friday night by The Athletic.Tessmann being left off of the team is the biggest shock. The 24-year-old midfielder was a part of six camps under U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino and started 22 of 29 Ligue 1 games for Lyon this season, while also playing in nine Europa League games, including five starts.Many saw Tessmann as a potential starter in this World Cup. The midfielder, who also has the versatility to play center back in a pinch, was shut down by Lyon due to an injury at the end of the season, but sources felt confident that Tessmann would be healthy in time for the World Cup.The full roster was reported first by The Guardian earlier Saturday and has been independently verified by multiple sources to The Athletic. U.S. Soccer declined to comment.Players were informed of the roster decisions Friday. Diego Luna was another player omitted, as reported by The Athletic on Friday night. Luna has also been dealing with a muscle injury.There are no other major surprises in the squad.Mauricio Pochettino has made his World Cup choices for the USMNT’s roster (Jared C.
