The biggest shock was the exclusion of Middlesbrough goalkeeper Zack Steffen.
United States manager Gregg Berhalter announced his 26-player roster for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Wednesday, amid much fanfare in New York City.
His loan move to Boro from Manchester City was done for him to get more first-team minutes, and he largely achieved that goal, playing in 16 of the club's 20 matches in England's second-tier Championship. "With the three goalkeepers listed on the roster, we feel great, we feel really good about it. We saw a lot of progress with Matt Turner in this last six months, we know Ethan Horvath has been competing at a good level at Luton in the Championship, and Sean Johnson has been a mainstay in this group since day one."
However, other players healed up in time -- including McKennie, Turner and Norwich City forward Josh Sargent -- at least ahead of this weekend's last round of club fixtures before players are released.The opening World Cup qualifying fixture against El Salvador in September 2021 was the only qualifier Ream played in. But the injuries to Robinson and Richards, plus his fine form for the Cottagers this year in the Premier League, paved the way for him to be selected.
Both players had been in excellent form of late for their clubs, with Wright scoring nine goals on the season -- and four in his past four games -- while Pepi had five goals and two assists since moving to the Dutch side on loan in September."In the case of Ricardo, that was a really difficult conversation that I had to have with him," Berhalter said.
