Pulisic in, Sargent out of U.S. Gold Cup squad

U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter has announced the 23-player roster that will take part in the 2019 Gold Cup.

The list contains many familiar names, including Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic, Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley and RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams. But it also includes some new faces, including Derby County midfielder Duane Holmes and Vitoria Guimaraes midfielder Tyler Boyd. Boyd recently received approval from FIFA for a one-time change of association after the winger had represented New Zealand in official competition at the youth level.

All told, there are 10 players on the roster with previous Gold Cup experience.

"As always, there were some difficult decisions to be made for this roster and I'm extremely pleased with how the players have shown so far this year overall," Berhalter said. "We've had a chance to look at the player pool for the last six months and we feel great about the group that will take on the task of trying to win the Gold Cup.

"This is only the start of the journey. Our ambition is to progress as a team throughout the tournament and put ourselves in a position to be playing July 7 in Chicago."

The announcement brought disappointment for eight players who had participated in all or part of a training camp that began on May 25. The most surprising omission was arguably Werder Bremen forward Josh Sargent, who played 90 minutes against Jamaica. Sargent was eligible to take part in the FIFA under-20 World Cup -- taking place in Poland -- but was brought into the senior team camp instead. Now he won't take part in either tournament.

Berhalter mentioned after the Jamaica match that a hamstring injury would rule out LA Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget. Jackson Yueill, who made his international debut against Jamaica, wasn't on the preliminary 40-man Gold Cup roster, and was thus ineligible to take part. The other five players to be cut from the squad are defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, midfielder Jonathan Amon, midfielder Joe Gyau, and defender Antonee Robinson.

The announcement comes on the heels of a 1-0 friendly defeat to Jamaica in which an experimental U.S. side looked sluggish and lacked sharpness. Berhalter should have more of his first-choice lineup available for Sunday's friendly against Venezuela at Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium.

The U.S. will begin play in the Gold Cup on June 18 when it takes on Guyana at Allianz Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
