Antonee Robinson is back for the first time since undergoing knee surgery after the end of the last Premier League season, as does forward Patrick Agyemang after his summer transfer from Charlotte FC to Derby County.A few notable players will miss the friendlies due to injury, a group that includes Atlético Madrid midfielder Johnny Cardoso, Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Gio Reyna, and the PSV Eindhoven duo of forward Ricardo Pepi and defender Sergiño Dest.The US will play Ecuador on 10 October at 8.30pm ET in Austin, Texas before traveling north to Colorado to play Australia on 14 October at 9pm ET.Here are Pochettino’s selections and some initial takeaways:GoalkeepersChris Brady (Chicago Fire), Matt Freese (New York City FC), Patrick Schulte (Columbus Crew), Matt Turner (New England Revolution)Turner returns to the squad after missing out on the last window, and once again he faces a tight competition for the No 1 shirt. This time around, he’ll be competing with NYC FC’s Freese, who was Pochettino’s preferred starter through the Gold Cup over the summer and friendlies afterward. Brady joins after a solid showing against Inter Miami in a wild midweek win, and Schulte will hope to translate another camp appearance into some game time with the first team.DefendersMax Arfsten (Columbus Crew), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Celtic), Alex Freeman (Orlando City), Mark McKenzie (FC Toulouse), Tim Ream (Charlotte FC), Chris Richards (Crystal Palace), Antonee Robinson (Fulham), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati)The returning Robinsons, Antonee and Miles, highlight a group that is largely the same as the last few windows, with the notable exceptions of Tristan Blackmon (through injury) and Noahkai Banks.
