SANDY, Utah – United States Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter finalized his 23-man roster that will participate in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Real Salt Lake forward Corey Baird did not make the roster.

The United States will have six strikers that were called up, which includes Toronto FC’s Jozy Altidore, D.C. United forward Paul Arriola, Tyler Boyd from Vitoria Guimares, Colorado Rapids striker Jonathan Lewis, Seattle Sounders’ Jordan Morris and Gyasi Zardes from the Columbus Crew.
