Yesterday, United States Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter named the 22-man travel roster who will head to Carson, California for the team’s January Camp friendly against Costa Rica. The USMNT will take on the Ticos Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park.

Three players — JT Marcinkowski, Jordan Morris, and Cristian Roldan — were released to their clubs. Marcinkowski will head back to the San Jose Earthquakes, while Morris and Roldan will rejoin the Seattle Sounders to being training for the CONCACAF Champions League.
