Mauricio Pochettino has named the USMNT squad for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals against Haiti. Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun and Weston McKennie all return after missing the first post-World Cup window.

Pulisic plays for AC Milan, Balogun for Monaco and McKennie for Juventus. According to The Athletic, the MLS teenager Cavan Sullivan is also recalled, and CBS Sports reports that Julian Hall is in the squad.

The two-leg series is set for Miami and Cincinnati. It is the first competitive action for the US since their exit from the World Cup in the last 16 against Belgium, and The Guardian describes the team as heavy favourites to win the competition.

FootVal's valuation puts Pulisic at €33m, Balogun at €44m and McKennie at €28m, below their market values on Transfermarkt of €35m, €50m and €30m. Pulisic has three goals in seven appearances for Milan this season.
