The American duo sustained hamstring injuries in recent weeks. Pulisic went off during Milan's Champions League win against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this week, causing concern about the 25-year-old.
Meanwhile, Weah was taken off at half-time of Juve's clash against Hellas Verona at the end of October and missed last week's clash with Fiorentina in Serie A as a result.
WHAT THEY SAID
Despite the injuries keeping them out of the latest USMNT squad, Berhalter is optimistic about their condition.
"Both of them it’s not too serious, but unfortunately they aren’t going to be able to participate in this camp," he told reporters. "We see them on track to get back to play soon, but it’s too short of a deadline [for November camp] so they won’t be involved."

Berhalter's team will face Trinidad and Tobago in the first leg of their quarter-final tie on November 17 before the return leg four days later.
