Which USMNT youngsters aren’t ready for a November call up

Bryan Zarpentine argues that several young USMNT prospects are not yet ready for competitive fixtures ahead of the November Nations League matches against Haiti. Although 13 previously uncapped players featured in the September-October window under manager Mauricio Pochettino, the writer believes certain prospects require further development before earning regular spots.

The writer specifically highlights Zavier Gozo, Mathis Albert, Adri Mehmeti, and Neil Pierre as players who should not receive call-ups in November. Zarpentine notes that limited club minutes and international inexperience mean these prospects remain long-term projects rather than immediate options for Pochettino.
