FIFA isn't requiring clubs participating in the 2025 Club World Cup to release players to their national teams while the CWC is taking place.
The article from MSN discusses the potential unavailability of USMNT players Tim Weah and Weston McKennie for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup due to suspensions. Both players received red cards during the Nations League semifinal against Mexico, which could lead to them missing the start of the Gold Cup. The suspensions stem from a brawl that occurred in the 85th minute of the match, where Weah was sent off for violent conduct, and McKennie was also dismissed. The exact length of their suspensions remains uncertain, but typically, red cards in such tournaments result in at least a one-game ban, potentially affecting their participation in the group stage of the Gold Cup. The U.S. Soccer Federation has not yet confirmed the duration of the suspensions, leaving their involvement in the tournament in doubt.
