Cannon, Pomykal, and Ferreira named to US Olympic team for Qualifiers.

US Soccer has announced the 23 man roster for Jason Kreis’ US Olympic team for Qualfyiers and FC Dallas’ Reggie Cannon, Paxton Pomykal, and Jesus Ferreira were named to the squad.

The players should be departing Sunday/Monday for training camp, but according to our sources, FCD may keep one or more of these players for their game next weekend at NYCFC.

If the players do depart this week and depending on how far the US advances, they will miss the FC Dallas games at NYCFC on March 14 and at SEA on March 21. If the USA makes it to the final, then the game against LAFC on April 4 becomes a concern due to fatigue and time away but isn’t technically on the missed list.
