As Copa America nears, Jurgen Klinsmann prepares to gather U.S. squad

Jurgen Klinsmann will open Copa America training camp next Monday in Miami, but with players in multiple countries on various schedules and not everyone from the 40-man preliminary roster invited, the build-up to the tournament is complicated.

Here is how it’s going to work:

European- and Mexican-based players who have been summoned to camp will begin arriving in South Florida over the weekend and in subsequent days. Bundesliga and Ligue 1 finish Saturday, the Premier League and 2. Bundesliga on Sunday. English Championship is already done. Those five circuits employ 15 of the 40 players named to the preliminary roster.
