The U.S. men’s team could head into the second leg of their Concacaf International League quarterfinal against Jamaica with a 1-0 score, but it’s not a comfortable game. Jamaica outshot the USMNT in Kingston and Matt Turner scored a penalty closer to Ricardo Pepi’s goal. Both teams will face injuries in the second leg, and the USMNT should date it because they have too much positive purpose will probably be impressive for sowing within the semifinals.
Tim Weah will return from his suspension providing a boost to the USMNT’s offensive life. Brenden Aaronson also returned to training after an illness. So if the USMNT will have two indisposed midfielders, Johnny Cardoso and Adian Morris, they will have some hungry players on this skeleton team.

Arguments
USMNT: Mauricio Pochettino showed that Weah will be involved in the game during his pre-match press conference, and will most likely slot back into the starting XI, allowing Yunus Musah to return to midfield. Without Morris and Cardoso, Pochettino will be left with a 23-man squad to see them through this game, but if the defense can sound one for two, it will be enough to travel with as he has a top . It would be great to have a complete victory closer to suffering in the first leg of the games, but not having so many regulars at your disposal may prove difficult to achieve. Pochettino is easily learning the vast options he has in this regard.

USMNT Predicted XI: Matt Turner, Antonee Robinson, Tim Ream, Mark McKenzie, Joe Scally, Weston McKennie, Yunus Musah, Malik Tillman, Christian Pulisic, Ricardo Pepi, Tim Weah
Jamaica: In addition to suffering injuries, Steve McClaren will be lifeless. Ethan Pinnock Mason Holgate is suspended. FC Las Vegas Lighting forward Khori Bennett has been added to the Jamaican squad to deliver intensity because there is another strange condition that prevents players from showing up. Michail Antonio and Kaheim Dixon “lost their passports, it was too late to get good ones and visas to come back here, so they’re missing,” McClaren said in his pre-match press conference.
Antonio was already suspended from the first leg of the International League quarterfinals, but will now claim no interest in the Reggae Boyz. Holgate can be suspended, so for McLaren to get a result they will need their team to be at their best. Leon Bailey was able to create chances in the first leg and they will need more from him to win over the absentees.
Jamaica Predicted XI: Andre Blake, Gregory Leigh, Damion Lowe, Amari’i Bell, Di’Shon Bernard, Dexter Lemmbikisa, Demarai Grey, Joel Latibeaudiere, Kasey Palmer, Leon Bailey, Shamar Nicholson
Prediction
Upon returning home, the USMNT will head into action comfortably moving one step closer to a fourth consecutive International Location League title. Choose: USMNT 2, Jamaica 0
