Ricardo Pepi

Playmaking Forward
Jan 9, 2003 (23)
Right
6'1"
161 lb
Takes two shots in spot start
Pepi recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Friday's 2-0 victory against Australia.
Analysis: Pepi was a surprising addition to the starting lineup once Christian Pulisic (calf) was ruled out, and while he kept the opposing defenders busy, he couldn't find the back of the net. Pepi is likely to be dropped from the XI for the group-stage finale against Turkiye on June 25 regardless of whether Pulisic is deemed fit to play, as he didn't do enough to keep a place among the starters.
Builds momentum after injury return
Pepi started and scored two goals during Thursday's Eredivisie win over PEC Zwolle.
Analysis: Pepi is available after dealing with a forearm fracture at the beginning of the year, and he's aiming to be an option for the USMNT in the upcoming World Cup. The forward has scored three goals over his last two club games while delivering an assist during a substitute outing for the national team in March.
