Seven MLS Homegrown players are among the 22-man roster called up by Tab Ramos on Friday for a US Under-20 national team camp in Italy that begins this weekend.
Three New York Red Bulls products lead the group: forward Amando Moreno, center back Matt Miazga and goalkeeper Santiago Castaño.
Chivas USA midfielder Marco Delgado, FC Dallas defender Kellyn Acosta, Real Salt Lake forward Benji Lopez and Philadelphia Union forward Zach Pfeffer (currently on loan to German Bundeliga club TSG Hoffenheim) are also part of the group that will convene in Verona starting Sunday through Nov. 20.
Other notable names on the squad include Borussia Dortmund midfielder Junior Flores, Fulham midfielder Emerson Hyndman and Molde FK goalkeeper Ethan Horvath.
The US are expected to play three friendlies over the course of the camp: against Hellas Verona Primavera on Nov. 13, Iran's U-20 team on Nov. 18 and an opponent that has not yet been determined a day later.
Former USMNT players Clint Mathis and Tony Meola will join Ramos' staff for the camp.
