CF Montréal, Minnesota United FC, Portland Timbers and Toronto FC each have two players called up.
Minnesota goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair and forward Tani Oluwaseyi join amid an underdog run in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. St. Clair was crucial in two penalty shootouts, helping MNUFC sweep Real Salt Lake in their Round One Best-of-3 Series.
Portland's Kamal Miller returns to Les Rouges for the first time since Copa América, and Nashville SC winger Jacob Shaffelburg continues his rise.
MLS alums
Former New England Revolution standout Tajon Buchanan, one of nine MLS alumni on the roster, returns for the first time since sustaining a leg fracture at Copa América.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC homegrown product Alphonso Davies remains a key starter for Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
