Roster reveals of 26-man squads are going to be of great interest in the coming months, with FIFA expanding its team sizes for the World Cup in Qatar by three players. And for a select few chosen for next month’s MLS All-Star Game, they’ll hope that it’s just the first such squad to which they’re named this year.
MLS revealed the 26-player group that will take on a batch of Liga MX All-Stars at Minnesota United’s Allianz Field on Aug. 10, with a handful of players who are potentially World Cup-bound set to take part. USMNT’s Sean Johnson, Walker Zimmerman, Aaron Long, DeAndre Yedlin, Paul Arriola, Jesús Ferreira and Jordan Morris have all been selected to play in the game, which will mark the second straight year that MLS and Liga MX talents are pitted against one another. (An eighth U.S.-eligible player, Darlington Nagbe, was selected as well, but he hasn’t featured for the U.S. in over four years.)
