Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is not in the United States Men's National Team squad for their upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.

The U.S. Soccer Federation stated that both Pulisic and his national teammate Gio Reyna of Borussia Dortmund will be absent through injury.

One who is back is Wetson McKennie of Juventus, who was suspended for two matches after breaching COVID-19 protocols during a previous international break.

"We stress the importance of us having a young team, people making mistakes, and people being held accountable for their mistakes. And that's exactly what it was and what it is," Berhalter said Wednesday, per ESPN.

"I spoke to Weston. He was very forthcoming at the time, and as far as I'm concerned, this is something that's done. He's still going to be held accountable for his behavior. Everybody's going to be held accountable, but this isn't something that we hold on guys, and that's not the type of culture we have in the group, and it won't be moving forward. So Weston's back in, and we're in conversations with him, and he's focused on helping the team win.

"Like any player, you talk through it, and you work through it, and the player takes responsibility. I think there is part of it that you move forward and you say 'Okay, it's a clean slate for you.' But there's a certain amount of trust that Weston needs to rebuild with the group, and he's willing to do that and I think that's the important thing.

"The one thing I didn't love in how this whole thing got spun, is just the lack of tolerance, the lack of understanding for a player's situation, for the fact that we have a young group, and this group needs to learn. I think we're way too quick to condemn people and not really understand a player's perspective. Listen, his behavior was unacceptable, he took responsibility for it, and we move on. We really do move on. But will he be held accountable in the future? Absolutely. That's going to be part of it, and he understands that. The group understands that. So, we move forward."
