USA boss Gregg Berhalter names squad for Panama, Costa Rica friendlies | OneFootball

United States national team manager Gregg Berhalter named a 23-man squad for their upcoming friendlies against CONCACAF rivals Panama and Costa Rica – his first two matches in charge.

Berhalter had invited 28 out-of-season players, all from Major League Soccer, to participate in the USMNT’s annual January camp.

On Tuesday, he was forced to make four cuts ahead of the upcoming pair of friendlies.

Goalkeeper Alex Bono (Toronto FC), goalkeeper Tyler Miller (LAFC), defender Justen Glad (Real Salt Lake), and midfielder Kellyn Acosta (Colorado Rapids) were the four players sent home from camp.

Defender Greg Garza (FC Cincinnati) suffered a quadriceps injury earlier in camp and will also not travel with the squad.

The United States will face Panama in Arizona this Sunday, 27 January before making the trip to California to face Costa Rica on Saturday, 2 February.
