Anthony Hudson has named his 24-man USMNT squad for this month's CONCACAF Nations League fixtures with Grenada and El Salvador.
The U.S will look to progress to the competition's finals with victory in their two fixtures in next week's international break. Currently in second with four points - one behind El Salvador - the USA travel to Grenada on March 24 before hosting El Salvador three days later in Orlando.
Within the squad, 13 players returned to the national team for the first time since the Qatar World Cup. Chelsea's Christian Pulisic and Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner have been named in Hudson's squad while Auston Trusty - on loan at Birmingham City from Arsenal - will hope to earn his first senior cap.
