United States men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter named his final 26-player roster for the U.S.-hosted 2024 Copa América on Friday.
Forward Josh Sargent, who was a doubt to survive the cut after missing both of the USMNT’s pre-Copa tuneup games because of a lingering foot injury, was included. Midfielder Timmy Tillman was the only player released from the 27-man squad Berhalter chose for early June friendlies against Colombia and Brazil.
Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and captain Christian Pulisic, scorer of the Americans’ only goal in Wednesday’s 1-1 tie against Brazil, are all there. The only regular who isn’t is right back Sergino Dest, who will miss the 16-team tournament after tearing his ACL in April.
The full list is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Ethan Horvath, Cardiff City (Wales); Sean Johnson, Toronto FC (MLS); Matt Turner, Nottingham Forest (England)
Defenders: Cameron Carter-Vickers, Celtic (Scotland); Kristoffer Lund, Palermo (Italy); Mark McKenzie, Genk (Belgium), Shaq Moore, Nashville (MLS); Tim Ream, Fulham (England), Chris Richards, Crystal Palace (England), Antonee Robinson, Fulham; Miles Robinson, Cincinnati (MLS); Joe Scally, Borussia Mönchengladbach (Germany)
Midfielders: Tyler Adams, Bournemouth (England); Johnny Cardoso, Real Betis (Spain); Luca de la Torre, Celta Vigo (Spain); Weston McKennie, Juventus (Italy), Yunus Musah, AC Milan (Italy); Gio Reyna, Nottingham Forest; Malik Tillman, PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands)
Forwards: Brenden Aaronson, Union Berlin (Germany); Folarin Balogun, Monaco (France), Ricardo Pepi, PSV; Christian Pulisic, AC Milan; Josh Sargent, Norwich City (England); Tim Weah, Juventus; Haji Wright, Coventry City (England)
