LA Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget was one of 19 additional senior players called up by head coach Gregg Berhalter to a U.S. Men’s National Team training camp in Annapolis, Md. Their additions bring the total number to 28 that will train in advance of the rematch of the 2017 Concacaf Gold Cup final against Jamaica on June 5 in Washington, D.C. Kickoff for the USA's first visit to Audi Field is set for 4 p.m. PT, and the match will be broadcast live on FS1, UniMas and UDN.
The final list of 23 players for the Gold Cup is due by midnight of June 5. The official announcement will take place the following day.
Lletget has made nine previous appearances for the USMNT during his career, most recently during friendlies against Ecuador and Chile earlier this year. He has made 14 appearances, all starts, during MLS Regular Season play for the Galaxy this season, scoring one goal and adding two assists.
"After a great week of training, we now enter the phase of playing competitive matches," Berhalter said. "The game against Jamaica will represent an opportunity for us to evaluate new prospects as well continue to develop the group for the Gold Cup. We are excited about the group coming in and the opportunity ahead of us this summer."
Following the Jamaica game, the MNT will make its first visit to Cincinnati and will face Venezuela on June 9 in its final preparation match for the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup. Kickoff at Nippert Stadium is set for 11 a.m. PT, and the match will be broadcast on FOX and UniMás.
