Brenden Aaronson briefly left USMNT camp for his wedding, giving teammates a chance to reflect on family, growth and the bonds that have shaped this World Cup group.

USMNT fans exploded online after the leaked World Cup roster surfaced, with Diego Luna’s omission and Gio Reyna’s inclusion fueling intense debate ahead of Mauricio Pochettino’s official squad announcement.

Gio Reyna has reportedly been named to the U.S. men's national team's World Cup roster, while Real Salt Lake star Diego Luna has been left off. Reyna is reportedly joined by the likes of Matt Turner, Sebastian Berhalter, Brenden Aaronson, and Mark McKenzie among the early roster leaks, while Luna's RSL teammate, Zavier Gozo, has also missed out.

Brenden Aaronson remains a “key part” of Leeds’ future. Michael Gray has told GOAL, with the USMNT star proving that he can play an important role for the Whites as a creative No.10 or hard-running winger. Some uncomfortable questions have been asked of the American playmaker since he returned to Elland Road in 2024, but boo boys have been won over in style.
