The United States men's national team plays the first of their two January international friendlies on Jan. 18 taking on Venezuela.
Taking place at Inter Miami's Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the USMNT will be without many of their key stars including Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, Folarin Balogun, Tim Weah, Yunus Musah, Tyler Adams and more. Though, January poses a big opportunity for those to earn their first senior national team caps as Mauricio Pochettino continues to assess his squad.
Pochettino will be taking charge of the USMNT in just his fifth game. Given the importance of going deep in the Concacaf Nations League later this year in March, he'll have a close eye on those selected to play this month.
Here's how the USMNT could line up vs. Venezuela on Saturday, Jan. 18.
