Adams, Pulisic forced to withdraw from USMNT squad; Picault called in

For those hoping to see Christian Pulisic to share a midfield with Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie, we’ll have to keep waiting. 

Both Pulisic (calf) and Adams (back) have been forced to withdraw from the USMNT’s latest squad for friendlies against Peru and Colombia. Philadelphia Union’s Fafa Picault has been added to the squad, who has earned one cap with the US national team. 

Pulisic missed Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League game Wednesday against Monaco while Adams was absent from the Red Bulls’ 2-0 win over Atlanta United last weekend.

The US will host Colombia at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Oct. 11 as FS1, UniMás and UDN will broadcast the match beginning at 7:30 pm ET. The final home match of the Kickoff Series pits USA against Peru on Oct. 16 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn. ESPN2, UniMás and UDN will broadcast live beginning at 7:30 pm ET.
