MNT the Nations League title. And when he did get on the field, he was largely ineffective. His stock has plummeted, but he still has time to regain his form before the World Cup.
16. Walker Zimmerman, defender, Aston Villa (+1)
Zimmerman was solid in his limited minutes, but it’s unclear if he did enough to secure a spot on the World Cup roster. His versatility and experience could be valuable assets, though.
17. Brenden Aaronson, midfielder, Red Bull Salzburg (+1)
Aaronson provided a spark off the bench against Canada, but it may not have been enough to solidify his spot on the World Cup roster. He will need to continue to impress in the Gold Cup and beyond to secure his place.
18. Timothy Weah, forward, Lille
Weah’s performance against Canada was lackluster, raising questions about his place on the World Cup roster. He will need to step up his game in the coming months to prove he deserves a spot.
19. Miles Robinson, defender, Atlanta United
Robinson had a tough outing against Canada, struggling to contain their attack. His spot on the World Cup roster is far from guaranteed, and he will need to show improvement to secure his place.
20. George Bello, defender, Torino
Bello was largely ineffective in his limited minutes against Canada, failing to make much of an impact. His chances of making the World Cup roster are uncertain, and he will need to impress in the Gold Cup and beyond to secure his place.
Overall, Pochettino has a lot to consider as he evaluates his roster and prepares for the upcoming competitions. The performances of the players in the Nations League finals have given him plenty of information to work with, and he will need to make some tough decisions in the coming months.
