U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter announced his roster for the second phase of the team's pre-Gold Cup training camp, with 19 additional players called in, bringing the total to 28.
The new additions are comprised of players from MLS as well as Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie and Vitoria Guimaraes forward Tyler Boyd. The final 23-player Gold Cup roster will be submitted to CONCACAF on the night of June 5, following the U.S. team's friendly with Jamaica in Washington, D.C., and announced the following morning. The U.S will take on Venezuela in a friendly at Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium on June 9.

"After a great week of training, we now enter the phase of playing competitive matches," Berhalter said. "The game against Jamaica will represent an opportunity for us to evaluate new prospects, as well [as] continue to develop the group for the Gold Cup. We are excited about the group coming in and the opportunity ahead of us this summer."
Conspicuous by their absence from the roster are Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic and RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams, but the expectation is that they will join the U.S. team at a later point in the camp.
Also absent is goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, who has sustained a finger injury that will render him unavailable for the Gold Cup.
Nine players that took part in last week's opening phase of the training camp will remain with the U.S. team. These players include midfielder Jonathan Amon, defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, defender Omar Gonzalez, midfielder Joe Gyau, midfielder Duane Holmes, defender Matt Miazga, defender Tim Ream, defender Antonee Robinson and forward Josh Sargent.
San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jackson Yueill will also take part in the camp, though he isn't on the Gold Cup provisional roster, and thus ineligible to participate in the tournament.
Eleven players from the roster that took part during the first week of camp - which included a mix of senior team and U-23 players - have departed. These players include: goalkeepers JT Marcinkowski, Andrew Thomas and Justin Vom Steeg; defenders Kyle Duncan, Marlon Fossey and Andrew Gutman; midfielders Emerson Hyndman, Keaton Parks and Eryk Williamson; and forwards Luca de la Torre and Haji Wright.
