US national team head coach Gregg Berhalter has called 20 MLS-based players in for a pre-camp training squad, which will take place from November 2-9 in Bradenton, Florida.
The squad is comprised of players whose seasons have already ended, thus ruling out European-based players as well as those preparing for MLS Cup with the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC. Berhalter will keep some players from the training camp around for the Nations League squad.
“We have the opportunity to take advantage of the MLS post-season window to start preparations for the matches against Canada and Cuba,” Berhalter said in a media release. “It’s another week to keep progressing as a group as we focus on getting the results we need to advance to the knockout phase of the Nations League.”
Berhalter’s squad features a few new faces, as Matt Turner and Chase Gasper received their first call-ups while Mark McKenzie and Brenden Aaronson have previously been involved but have yet to debut.
The USMNT face Canada and Cuba in Nations League matches on Nov. 15 and Nov. 19.
