Cavan Sullivan Signals a New USMNT Era
TL;DR
USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino announced a four-game roster that excludes Christian Pulisic as he recovers from injuries, highlighting 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan of Philadelphia Union as the future centerpiece. Sullivan, who signed a major Homegrown deal with Union and is linked to Manchester City, has already made waves in MLS with his early breakout numbers and eye-catching play. The roster also includes other young prospects like Zavier Gozo, Adri Mehmeti, Mathis Albert, and Justin Ellis, signaling a deliberate generational shift aimed at a brighter USMNT core for the 2030 World Cup era.
