The USMNT faces a strategic decision regarding player selection for this match. Key players such as Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun, Chris Richards, and Antonee Robinson are on yellow cards, risking suspension for the knockout stage if they receive another booking. Additionally, Christian Pulisic, who missed the previous game due to a calf injury, may return to the lineup to regain match fitness. For Türkiye, the match offers an opportunity to salvage pride and end their campaign on a positive note.
