The Gregg Berhalter era is officially underway for the U.S. Men’s National Team. 27 players were called to Chula Vista as Berhalter will begin to implement his system with some familiar and new faces.
As with most January camp rosters, Berhalter’s first squad is filled with entirely MLS players. European leagues are in full swing in January and it is an ideal time for the USMNT to get a look at their domestic-based contingent. Let’s take a look at who made the cut.
Goalkeepers (4): Alex Bono (Toronto FC), Sean Johnson (New York City FC), Tyler Miller (LAFC), Zack Steffen (Columbus Crew SC)
Defenders (10): Reggie Cannon (FC Dallas), Greg Garza (FC Cincinnati), Justen Glad (Real Salt Lake), Nick Lima (San Jose Earthquakes), Aaron Long (New York Red Bulls), Daniel Lovitz (Montreal Impact), Mark McKenzie (Philadelphia Union), Keegan Rosenberry (Colorado Rapids), Auston Trusty (Philadelphia Union), Walker Zimmerman (LAFC)
Midfielders (10): Kellyn Acosta (Colorado Rapids), Paul Arriola (DC United), Corey Baird (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Russell Canouse (DC United), Marky Delgado (Toronto FC), Sebastian Lletget (LA Galaxy), Djordje Mihailovic (Chicago Fire), Cristian Roldan (Seattle Sounders), Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew SC)
Forwards (3): Jeremy Ebobisse (Portland Timbers), Christian Ramirez (LAFC), Gyasi Zardes (Columbus Crew SC)
When talking about the roster Berhalter said:
“We are very excited to start to implement our ideas about the style of play and the culture we want to develop into the National Team.
