BERHALTER CALLS 26 PLAYERS FOR MEXICO, URUGUAY

In the final international window before beginning its Concacaf Nations League campaign, the USMNT will receive stern challenges from the likes of regional rivals Mexico and No.5-ranked Uruguay. Head coach Gregg Berhalter called in a mixed 26-player roster to begin training in New Jersey on Sept. 1. A mix of veterans and youth, the squad features 15 players that finished as runners-up at the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup, as well as 21 players that have been part of a USMNT camp in 2019. On the flip side, five players are getting their first run with the team in 2019, including first timers Sergiño Dest, Paxton Pomykal and Miles Robinson.

BACK IN THE MIX

A number of familiar faces return to the fold, making their debut appearances since Berhalter took the reins. A veteran of two FIFA World Cups and 60 caps to his credit, goalkeeper Brad Guzan returns to the USMNT for the first time since November 2018. The 34-year-old leads all MLS goalkeepers with 12 clean sheets in 2019. Meantime, Alfredo Morales also returns to the USMNT for the first time since a 3-1 friendly win against Puerto Rico on May 22, 2016. A teammate of Steffen’s in Dusseldorf, the 29-year-old midfielder scored his first goal of the young Bundesliga season in the team’s 3-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen on Aug. 24.

Also, back from the Bundesliga are 2014 FIFA World Cup veteran John Brooks and Werder Bremen striker Josh Sargent. The 19-year-old attacker is a native of St. Louis and will have a chance to play in front of friends and family against Uruguay.

MOVING UP THE RANKS

Two players from the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup are getting their first sniff at the senior team level, with Berhalter calling on defender Sergiño Dest and midfielder Paxton Pomykal. Joining a long history of children of American servicemen overseas, the Dutch born Dest is earning minutes with the first team at Ajax, last year’s semifinalists in the UEFA Champions League. A product of the FC Dallas Academy, Pomykal has started 20 games in MLS this season, by far the most of his four-year career, tallying two goals and five assists.

The USA and Mexico meet for the 70^th time on Friday – the most matches between any two Concacaf opponents.

The most memorable and highest-stakes match between the sides came in the Round of 16 at the 2002 FIFA World Cup when the U.S. used goals from Brian McBride and Landon Donovan to earn a 2-0 victory.
The most recent meeting occurred just over two months ago when Jonathan dos Santos found the lone goal to give Mexico a 1-0 victory in the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup Final on July 7 at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
