Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has named 10 MLS players to his 26-man roster, which is highlighted by Europe-based standouts Christian Pulisic (AC Milan), Antonee "Jedi" Robinson (Fulham) and Chris Richards (Crystal Palace).

The MLS call-ups include goalkeepers Matt Turner (New England Revolution) and Matt Freese (New York City FC), who are vying for the No. 1 spot.

Orlando City right back Alex Freeman was again selected, along with All-Star midfielder Diego Luna (Real Salt Lake). Additionally, Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Cristian Roldan returns for a second straight camp.

The USMNT are trying to continue the good vibes from last month's 2-0 win over Japan. Beforehand, Pochettino's team had consistently struggled against opponents in the FIFA World Rankings top 25.
