Tanner Tessmann replaces Johnny Cardoso on the USMNT’s 24-player roster for the September friendlies against Oman and Uzbekistan.

Cardoso has been ruled out with an ankle injury, forcing an exit from camp to focus on recuperation. The Venezia-based midfielder will now report on September 3 in preparation to face Uzbekistan first on the 9th before traveling to host Oman in St. Paul, Minnesota just three days later.

Tessmann returns to the national team after making his senior USMNT debut in the 7-0 win against Trinidad and Tobago on 31 January 2021 in Orlando, Florida. He stands as one of several players who’ve seen fewer than five caps with the American side.

The squad sees 12 players who lifted the 2023 Nations League trophy return to the fold, while several new faces seek to make their first appearances. Inter Miami’s Benjamin Cremaschi earned his first call-up, after the Argentinian-American figure stood out in recent Leagues Cup and Major League Soccer matches when linking up with new teammate Lionel Messi.

Borussia Dortmund figure Giovanni Reyna is notably missing from the roster, after picking up a calf injury during the Concacaf Nations League final against Canada in June. Other notable absences due to injury include Tyler Adams, Taylor Booth, Cameron Carter-Vcikers, Zack Steffen and Walker Zimmerman.
