Weston McKennie

One of the USMNT''s most battle-tested players, a versatile midfielder who has held his own at Italian giant Juventus. McKennie brings energy, physicality and the ability to play almost anywhere across midfield, a vital piece for the host nation. For U.S. fans, he is the do-everything utility starter — the tough, adaptable player a coach can plug into any role and trust to deliver.
