Seoul Gazette - Pulisic and Weah ruled out of USA squad with injuries

USA coach Gregg Berhalter named his 24-man squad for the pair of games against the Caribbean team on Thursday and the two wide-men were the most noticable absences.

A US Soccer Federation spokesman confirmed that the duo were both missing due to injuries.

Pulisic was substituted in stoppage time of AC Milan's 2-1 win over Paris Saint German in the Champions League on Tuesday after pulling up with a leg muscle injury.

Weah has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury for Juventus against Verona in Serie A last month.

Berhalter remains without another key starter with central midfielder Tyler Adams ruled out until February after a setback in his attempt to return from long-term injury in September.

The USA will face Trinidad and Tobago in Austin, Texas, on November 16 before taking on the same opponents in Port of Spain four days later.
