Seven MLS players were among the 20 players called up by US Under-20 national team head coach Tab Ramos on Friday for a three-game swing at the 2014 International National Teams Football Tournament in Marbella, Spain.
The New York Red Bulls and 2015 expansion outfit Orlando City contributed two players each to the roster. Defender Matt Miazga and goalkeeper Santiago Castano are the Red Bulls making the trip, while Orlando teenager Tyler Turner and Homegrown Player Tommy Redding, signed to play for the MLS side in 2015, will join them.
Forward Tommy Thompson (San Jose Earthquakes), midfielder Romain Gall (Columbus Crew), and defender Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas) make up the rest of the MLS contingent on Ramos' roster.
The US will open their trip with a game against their Russian counterparts on Nov. 12, followed by the Republic of Ireland on Nov. 15 and Canada on Nov. 18.
It will mark the second-to-last international trip of the year for Ramos and his charges, as they will also hold a mid-December camp in Jamaica, also the site of the 2015 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship, set to take place Jan. 9-24.
