WASHINGTON: Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner, Seattle striker Jordan Morris and Inter Miami defender De Andre Yedlin were among seven World Cup players named Monday to the US CONCACAF Gold Cup roster. US interim coach BJ Callaghan selected the final 23-player squad for the start of training camp on June 20 in Chicago as the Americans try to defend the title they won 1-0 over Mexico in the 2021 final.

In all, 16 of the 23 players compete for Major League Soccer squads, with 2022 World Cup members including Turner, Yedlin, Morris,
