NEW YORK (AP) — Mauricio Pochettino is looking forward to having Tim Weah with the U.S national team.
“I played a few games against his father and I want to see if he has the same character, because his father was amazing,” the American coach said. “Every time that I play against, always suffered. It was difficult to sleep the night before.”
A son of former FIFA Player of the Year and former Liberia President George Weah, Tim Weah was among 25 players picked Sunday for Pochettino’s first competitive matches, a CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal series against Jamaica.
Tyler Adams won’t rejoin the Americans. Pochettino wants the midfielder to remain with Bournemouth to regain fuller fitness following a series of injuries.
