USMNT Copa America 2024 squad: Who Gregg Berhalter will take to the tournament

Matt Turner remains the USMNT's No.1, and despite his lack of minutes at club level for Nottingham Forest, it doesn't feel like that'll change any time soon. There isn't quite anyone in position to challenge him at the moment, and his U.S. performances have never shown any sign of dropping off.

Behind him, Ethan Horvath remains the clear backup, with Johnson behind him.

At right-back, Sergino Dest was set to be the go-to starter before his untimely injury. Joe Scally is his replacement, though Tim Weah and Shaq Moore provide alternative options. Antonee Robinson, meanwhile, is a lock at left-back, while Kristoffer Lund will provide backup.

Centrally, Tim Ream and Chris Richards seem are the starters, but all three of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Mark McKenzie and Miles Robinson will be competing for minutes.

The MMA midfield of Weston McKennie, Yunus Musah and Tyler Adams carried the USMNT through the 2022 World Cup, and that trio could very well return this summer. However, Gio Reyna still has his role to play, and it will likely move Musah to the bench.

Behind Adams, the U.S. has a new backup No.6 in Johnny Cardoso, while Luca de la Torre is the player to come in if McKennie or Musah are absent.

Malik Tillman, meanwhile, will still have his say after an outstanding season with PSV.

Haji Wright, Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi and Josh Sargent will all be vying for a starting role at striker, but it's more likely now that we see Wright played in a wide role.

With Sargent carrying a knock, it's more than likely one of Pepi or Balogun get the nod for game one vs Bolivia, now, too.

Out wide, the options essentially pick themselves. Christian Pulisic will start on the left, while Weah will be on the right, with Wright available off the bench alongside Brenden Aaronson.

Much of the USMNT XI is pretty locked in, and the two-pre Copa friendlies vs Brazil and Colombia largely spoke for themselves.

That said, we'll almost certainly see a 4-3-3. with the following group rolled out to begin the tournament.

USMNT XI (4-3-3): Turner; Scally, Richards, Ream, A.Robinson; Adams, McKennie, Reyna; Weah, Balogun, Pulisic.

Sergino Dest is the major one, with his absence robbing the U.S. of the team's starting right-back. Losing Dest is a brutal blow, one which will dramatically alter what this team can do tactically.

Daryl Dike, meanwhile, is also out for the rest of 2024 after suffering his second Achilles injury in as many years.
