USA coach Bruce Arena has called 27 players to training camp in advance of the three in June including the international friendly against Ghana.
Training started today (Tuesday) but players from Europe and most from Mexico were not available because of club commitments.
”I think we have a good group,” Arena said. ”I’m still in the early goings with this team and I haven’t seen all of our players, so this camp gives me the opportunity to see six new faces we haven’t had in with the team yet, which is valuable.
”It’s also great that we’re able to bring back 21 players that have been in with our program already in 2017.
”We have a roster that has good balance all over, we have good young players and hopefully it’s a team we can put together to get us points in both games.”
