The Bournemouth player has been exceptional this season in the absence of Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie. The young Diego Luna played as an attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n Timothy Weah and Christian Pulisic started on the wings, both with Champions League experience. Norwich City’s Joshua Sargent started as the number nine.<\/p>\n The USMNT lost 2-0 in an embarrassing defeat to South Korea. Son Heung-min opened the scoring before setting up Dong-Gyeong Lee, all before he was substituted in 63rd minute. The USA were not dominated, with 54% of possession and three big chances; however, South Korea simply took both of their big chances for the victory.<\/p>\n Weah was substituted in the last match with an injury; however, it is reportedly<\/a> only a minor concern. It is unclear whether he will play in this match.<\/p>\nUSMNT Recent Form<\/h3>\n
