Since the game is the day before the USMNT’s next game, Gregg Berhalter and Tata Martino will have to decide where to put Benjamin Cremasch and Deandre Yedlin. The young midfielder played his first international game in September against Oman, but he isn’t yet a captain because he hasn’t played in a competitive off-season game. On the other hand, Yedlin hasn’t been a part of the program lately, but he might be in January since he doesn’t have an official FIFA window.
