Former Stanford standout Jordan Morris was called to the United State’s men’s national soccer training camp for an international match against Jamaica on Wednesday in Washington D.C.
Morris is one of 28 players in camp, being held at the U.S. Naval Academy, preparing for the match, which has a scheduled 4 p.m. start. The Americans will use 23 players for the game.
The U.S. has one more match after Jamaica, traveling to Cincinnati for a match against Venezuela on Sunday, before opening the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Morris played with the Americans and scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over the Jamaicans in the 2017 Gold Cup championship final. He led the U.S. with three goals through the event. Morris has appeared in 27 matches with the U.S., with nine starts.
