The coaching staff‌ faces​ several options, ⁣ranging from veterans who‌ offer steadiness to younger talents eager to make their mark. For the left-back role, ‌options like Joe Scally, who ​has showcased versatility ‌in the Bundesliga, and the experience of dejuan Jones, seasoned in MLS play, could prove pivotal. On the other ⁢hand, players like John Tolkin bring energy and raw potential, though untested at higher levels of international competition.

Below is a concise comparison of available candidates to⁣ cover these roles:

Player Club Strength consideration
Joe Scally Gladbach Defensive discipline Bundesliga⁢ experience
DeJuan Jones New England⁣ Revolution Consistency Reliable under pressure
John Tolkin NY Red Bulls Youth and energy Limited international appearances

​ As for attacking reinforcements, Gio Reyna could take a more⁤ prominent role if he recovers in time, while Brenden Aaronson ​might see himself pushed into greater duty on the wings.
