Overview

  • Aaronson was confirmed on Mauricio Pochettino’s World Cup roster in late May and then completed a long-planned wedding on Friday before rejoining the U.S. camp.
  • He spoke with Pochettino in March and received permission to miss one training day so he could keep the already-booked Jersey Shore ceremony.
  • A packed week of travel took him from Leeds’ May 24 season finale to the New York roster reveal, Atlanta training, the Long Beach Island wedding, and a pre-dawn return to camp.
  • Aaronson missed one USMNT training session and did not play in the 3-2 friendly win over Senegal, but he trained afterward and is expected to be available for the friendly against Germany.
  • Teammates and staff publicly supported the couple, with players watching wedding videos and the episode underscoring how schedule changes can strain players’ personal lives during final World Cup preparations.
