Cristian Roldán

Roldan (strain) is a late call and set to be "assessed" ahead of Thursday's match against Turkiye, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino, per Peter Rutzler of The Times Sport.

Analysis: Roldan will need to be tested by the medical team as the USA enters its group stage finale, with the midfielder remaining day-to-day with his strain. This is something to watch with the team likely to rotate, as it could leave them with one less option in the holding part of the midfield. With Tyler Adams on a yellow and unlikely to play, Sebastian Berhalter will likely start as Roldan waits for time on the bench if he is deemed fit, one of the few times Roldan could earn time this tournament.

Day-to-day with muscle strain

Roldan is day-to-day due to a muscle strain, according to Laken Litman of Fox Sports.

Analysis: Roldan looks to be in question for the USA's upcoming group stage finale, as the midfielder has been dealt a muscle strain. He has yet to play a minute this World Cup, but with some rotation expected next match, this could be a decent loss of depth for the team. They will be unlikely to want to risk Tyler Adams on a yellow card, so Roldan could've been set for some minutes in the holding portion of the midfield, potentially leaving Sebastian Berhalter to see more time on the pitch.
