May 26 is the date Robinson will learn whether Mauricio Pochettino includes him on the U.S. roster for the 2026 World Cup, which would be the center-back’s first appearance at the tournament.
Robinson says he feels healthy and ready after missing the 2022 World Cup when he ruptured his left Achilles in May 2022, an injury he says strengthened him mentally and physically.
