Celtic's American duo earn international call-up for Nations League clash with Panama

Celtic defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty have been called up to the United States national team for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League A semi-final against Panama on March 20 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

They will then face either Mexico or Canada in the final three days later.

This marks Carter-Vickers’ first inclusion in an international camp under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who took charge in September 2024.

The 27-year-old centre-back made only two national team appearances in 2024, largely due to a toe injury that sidelined him after Copa America last summer.

Trusty, 26, was previously called up by Pochettino in November 2024 but saw limited action, playing just three minutes across the CONCACAF play-off double-header against Jamaica.

Carter-Vickers and Trusty have been the preferred centre-back partnership for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers as the Hoops eye a domestic Treble this season. 

Here’s the USA squad in full…

Goalkeepers: Patrick Schulte, Zack Steffen, Matt Turner.

Defenders: Cameron Carter-Vickers, Marlon Fossey, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Joe Scally, Auston Trusty.

Midfielders: Tyler Adams, Johnny Cardoso, Diego Luna, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, Tanner Tessmann.

Forwards: Patrick Agyemang, Yunus Musah, Christian Pulisic, Josh Sargent, Timothy Weah, Brian White.
