Brenden Aaronson, USMNT, Mauricio Pochettino
30 May 2026
Brenden Aaronson missed USMNT World Cup training because he was allowed to attend his own wedding. The Leeds United midfielder is expected to rejoin the squad on Saturday before their next preparation match.
Team-mates said the absence was planned well in advance and not viewed as a distraction. Aaronson is coming off a strong club season and has been named to Mauricio Pochettino’s World Cup squad.
