The US national team’s Copa America Centenario preparations will get into full swing on Wednesday, when Jurgen Klinsmann will lead most of his 23-man tournament roster in a friendly against fellow Copa participants Ecuador.
The match will be the US’s first with their 11-man MLS contingent, which didn’t join the team until Monday in Dallas. In all, 22 of the 23 players named to the US’s final Copa America roster (third goalkeeper Ethan Horvath will remain with Norwegian club Molde until just before the US’s opener) will be available on Wednesday – a stark change from the “transition camp” group that trained last week in Miami and won 3-1 at Puerto Rico on Sunday.
