Tim Weah, Folarin Balogun, and Johnny Cardoso will be unavailable for Mauricio Pochettino’s first games as the U.S. national team coach due to injuries.

On Sunday, Brandon Vazquez, Alex Zendejas, and Tanner Tessmann were added to the roster.

Weah has not played for Juventus since September 21 because of an ankle injury.

Balogun scored the winning goal in the 22nd minute of Monaco’s 2-1 victory over Rennes in Ligue 1 on Saturday, but he left the match in the 64th minute with what seemed to be a shoulder injury.

Cardoso exited Real Betis’ Europa Conference League match against Legia Warsaw on Thursday in the 66th minute.

The U.S. team will play friendly matches against Panama on Saturday in Austin, Texas, and Mexico three days later in Guadalajara.
