Sergiño Dest was included in the initial squad release, but the Barcelona right back pulled out after suffering an injury in Europa League action. Frequently used backups Reggie Cannon and DeAndre Yedlin are both in the squad, plus George Bello and Shaq Moore were both called up due to a positive COVID-19 test for Cannon and Yedlin being suspended.
Weston McKennie remains unavailable after breaking his foot earlier this month. The Juventus midfielder will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season. He is expected to return to full health this summer.
