NEW YORK (AP) — Tyler Adams, Gio Reyna, Matt Turner and Tim Ream will be given the three weeks ahead of the Copa America to regain sharpness during U.S. team training after seeing little playing time over the final three months of their club seasons.
“We have friendly games to build up their fitness and get them ready,” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said Monday after announcing a 27-man roster for pre-tournament friendlies against Colombia on June 8 at Landover, Maryland, and Brazil four days later at Orlando, Florida.
Players report from May 28 through June 2 and will train at Bethesda, Maryland. Twenty-six man Copa America rosters are due June 15, and the U.S opens against Bolivia on June 23 at Arlington, Texas.
Berhalter is looking ahead two years, to when the U.S. is a World Cup co-host, saying the goal was “really trying to build towards 2026. That’s the main objective here.”
