The United States Men’s National Team’s busy month continues with the start of the Gold Cup next week after the conclusion of the Nations League Finals. Today, U.S. Soccer announced the 23-man roster that will compete in the Gold Cup as the USMNT seek to defend their title.
The USMNT roster includes 16 players from Major League Soccer, with only 5 players sticking around from the Concacaf Nations League Finals roster to perform double duty with the national team: Sean Johnson, Matt Turner, Miles Robinson, Alan Soñora, and Alex Zendejas. The roster being more domestic-heavy was expected, as the Nations League roster carried more of the European-based players.
