USA stars to watch in its first games since shock 'blackmail' scandal

In a time of such tumult within US Soccer, this January camp could show American fans that there's reason to be looking forward to the future.

While the governing body conducts its investigation into the conduct of World Cup manager Gregg Berhalter - brought to their attention by Austin FC general manager and USMNT legend Claudio Reyna and his wife - the United States still has matches to play.

They'll take part in their first of two friendlies on Wednesday against Serbia in Carson, CA - just outside Los Angeles.

Interim manager Anthony Hudson has called up a squad that skews young - featuring 11 players that are set to make their debuts for the US Men's National Team.

Of those eleven, Dailymail.com has picked out the names to keep an eye on for both this game against Serbia and the upcoming match against Colombia on January 28.

From promising goalkeepers to two players playing for the US for the first time, and late bloomers, these are the names that could impact the team this week - and ultimately push for a roster spot in the 2026 World Cup squad.
