Several U.S. national team stars including Jesús Ferreira, Walker Zimmerman, Jordan Morris, DeAndre Yedlin, Sean Johnson and Paul Arriola were named to a 26-man MLS roster for the upcoming All-Star Game in Minnesota.
The MLS All-Stars will face a roster of stars from Liga MX on August 10 at at Allianz Field, home of Minnesota United.
A total of 16 MLS clubs were represented on the roster with Los Angeles FC (Carlos Vela, Ilie Sánchez, Diego Palacios) and New York City FC (Valentín “Taty” Castellanos, Johnson, Alexander Callens) tied for the most with three players apiece.
Castellanos, last season’s Golden Boot winner, currently leads the league in goals with 12, and is followed by fellow All-Stars Sebastián Driussi and Ferreira, who have 11 apiece.
The roster was chosen by fan, player, and media voting (12 players), All-Star head coach Adrian Heath of host club Minnesota United (12 players), and two selections by MLS commissioner Don Garber, which were Johnson and CF Montréal defender Kamal Miller.
